Have the George and Mildred TV theme stuck in my head now since I started back with that box set a couple of days ago.
Not an unpleasant theme but it's now driving me crazy! 
The SAME four bars, over and over and over and over and over................again. The men in the white coats will be coming for me soon. 
Being a regular Frasier watcher,I've got "Tossed salad and scrambled eggs..." indelibly in my brain.but I don't mind.

Do you mean the brassy first theme or the softer one they changed to? If it was the first one I was in your position about 6 weeks ago and only got over it when the theme changed.
Couldn't get the Steptoe & Son theme out of my head for a while. But that didn't bother me...such a nice and gentle tune.
The Dad's Army theme, on the other hand, began to annoy me after a while.

Yaarg! You've just started the Steptoe theme in my head. Oh well, at least it blots out the shitty Elvis song that was driving me mad.
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa......

You know, I didn't notice it had changed. The one I am on at the moment and is stuck in my head is series 3.

Elvis? Shitty song!?! I remember Jonathan Ross saying on his Radio 2 (?) show many years back that "Indescribably Blue" was one of the worse songs he had ever heard - f**king tasteless cretin.
I love it.
I was never a fan. As a teenager, one look at him gave me the creeps. I used to tell my pals that I wouldn't like to meet him on a dark night. As to his music, there are 1 or 2 things that sound all right but I've never understood what the fuss was about.
Ahh, of course. This is more your taste :_

Looks like young Elvis had a stroke.
Try to imagine Screamin' Jay Hawkins singing this song. That would sound terriffic!

Just in case you didn't realise GB, what with you being a furriner - that soundtrack is actually Andy Stewart who used to do a very good Elvis impersonation so I thought it would appeal to keewik what with having all she (dis)likes in one singer. 
I was referring to the animated Elvis picture with the strange mouth movements.
I actually quite like the song (I know, that's a bit disturbing) and I think Hawkins should have performed it. "TROOOOOSER...!"

I really did look that one up in an online dictionary...feel a bit stupid now. 
Anyway, Elvis was/is great. Don't care much for his early stuff (except for a few of the obvious classics) and the less said about his soundtrack music the better. But he became a wonderful soul and country singer from the late 60s on. Everyone should check out this phase of his career. Lots of amazing gems to discover.

My mother was a great Andy Stewart fan. I'm sure I remember hearing/seeing him doing the Elvis thing.

Ah! Something at last we agree on. Unless you're talking about Mr Costello.
You two obviously live together in a mental home for mentalists like hinge and bracket (minus one cock).
