If you’ve had enough of Co-Co-1984, despite Brexit, as hard as I find that to believe, come linger a while with this link passed along by the good Ripper. I have to say that’s one hell of a guitar...
While we’re on the subject of ear worms and hurdy gurdy sounds, I may as well fire this old number back at y’all so let’s ‘trip’ back in time; to a time before Kung-Flue when all we had to worry about was nuclear armageddon. Here’s hoping everyone’s still ‘happily’ humming along to this at four tomorrow morning o’clock AM.

When my daughter was about 3, I had a Donavan cassette, which featured a rather childish song called 'car car' that I would sometimes sing to her. She's now 38, has a child of her own and still has that cassette which she plays now and again. I think Donavan wrote the song for Woody Guthrie when Arlo was a kid.
The hurdy gurdy - yes what an instrument. Its been with us for over a thousand years and is still one of the the most versatile. If you electrify one even more so. For example, using a sampler/sequencer you can create a whole orchestra with only a hurdy gurdy:

Or would you prefer something with a higher tempo, perhaps a bit of heavy metal:

Ripper,
Nice words but if I played that car track - yes, I remember it - I think I'd be spending a long time trying to drive it back out of my head...
