Persistent earworm alert CDV

I might be the only person on Earth whose persistent earworm for several days has been the placid, seasonally appropriate guitar of "The Orange Autumn Days" by Sean Watkins interspersed with the scream at the 7:45 mark of The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again."

In my case, however, the scream isn't a defiant outburst.  It's my reaction to pain from a persistent toothache.  Medicine, thankfully, is making the pain less frequent, but every now and then, my views of Fall foliage are interrupted by a guttural "Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Actually, it's more like "Youcccccccccchhhhhhhh!"

I've been tempted to scream that multiple times over the past week, but I'm reluctant to disturb anyone.  There are times, alas, when one just has to settle for channeling his inner Youcccccccccchhhhhhhh!
