Ear Worm: when a song or a phrase gets stuck in your head and you can't get rid of it. This is how I feel in general about the state of the world at this moment and time.

This Ear Worm series has come out of the confines brought on by the Covid -19 pandemic and the intense social, political and environmental events occurring simultaneously.
