Thread Name: Mr Beveridges Maggot - what's a maggot?
Subject: RE: Mr Beveridges Maggot - what's a maggot?
A "Maggot" is a tune and a tune that once heard or learnt WILL NOT LEAVE YOUR BRAIN....a week later you are still humming it.Here on the CBC( Canadian) they have had a discussion this week ,by coincidence,of what they call "Brain Worms....same thing.
    Maggots are different for different people.Does anyone remember the erudite radio celeb. Robert Robinson ? He said Gilbert and Sullivan music sounded to him like it had been written by a sewing machine.I know what he means.I like Gilbert and Sullivan but start to resent it when four days later I'm still humming it.My problem ,not theirs.

.....thread creep,I know,but what's your "Maggot" ?
