Silliness Exorcise your earworm

issybird · 02-03-2021, 08:39 PM

So, what’s your earworm?

Not what you’re listening to; rather, the tune you can’t get out of your head. It’s my hope by posting here that I and others will be able to rid themselves of an unwelcome inhabitant. You’ll note I couldn’t possibly be setting the bar lower than with my current earworm.

Horrible memories of Disneyland and "It's a Small World". The kids loved the boat ride, I had that <expletives deleted> tune stuck in my head for what seemed like forever.

I loved the song and listening to it never grows old.

If you want to get rid of an ohrwurm, try singing "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."

No specific songs, but before I retired I would often wake up with the alarm clock radio playing some horrible advertisement jingle that would rattle around in my head for hours!

Relatedly, my head has a 48 hour time loop. Some song that I haven't heard in a long while will play on my alarm -- possibly even before I'm awake enough to know I'm hearing it -- and 2 days later I'll be humming that tune.

It also works for church songs - on Tuesday, I'll find I'm humming them again.
