Sparking a forgotten earworm memory

In my previous post, "One priority of a good chorus teacher," I mentioned some of the enjoyable pop songs my sixth grade chorus class sang.  There was another song we sang that I'd forgotten about until just recently--"Elvira" by The Oak Ridge Boys.  This was the one country song our class sang, and the memory of it makes me smile--and cringe a little.  Looking back, it's funny to remember our sixth grade class singing, "Giddy up, oom poppa, oom poppa, mow mow," while Mrs. B. played the piano.  I can't deny that the song's hook is memorable, though.  True to my word in another recent post, I listened to it in its entirety during "American Top 40"'s 1981 year-end countdown.  After all, there was a ranking attached to it, and that made it more compelling.
