An earworm resurfaced for me today in a different context. I dreamed about a cadre of puppets performing Terry Stafford's oldie, "Suspicion," a song I haven't heard on the radio since about 1979. (For some reason, hearing it on KXOK's "Super Oldies Show" has stayed with me decades later.) The backing vocals stood out to me in the dream because two wolf puppets howled them with surprisingly perfect pitch. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised; the "Awooooo" backing fits that song better than any other.
Reasonable people may dispute this, believing that coyote puppets would mimic those vocals more accurately. For now, though, I'm sticking with wolves.
