All this last week I had this ear worm. It was the theme song to some television show from my youth. The tune played in my head constantly. The problem, for the life of me, I couldn't remember the show it came from. I would hum it in my head, sing the notes out loud. I got nothing.
Then, last night I was reading TMZ and they had one of those "What do they look like now?" entries. The subject was Mike Connors and bammo! That was the song! The theme to Mannix!
