Cycleracer   10 #1 Posted October 28, 2003 I have ' light my fire ' by the Doors constantly in my head and can't stop thinking about it.  Annoying as it is have you got music constantly drummed into your mind, if so what is it.

Hodge   10 #4 Posted October 28, 2003 about 6 years ago in a lecture at uni, I had the "Pinky and The Brain" theme in my head. It was only when the people surrounding me started to stare that I realised I was in a world of my own, humming and singing it in a Vic Reeves "Club Singer" style.  Oops.

nomme   10 #5 Posted October 28, 2003 The term I 've heard used for this is 'being earwormed'.  I don't know if this was made up by the people of this particular newsgroup where I picked it up, but I think it suitably descibes what you are on about.  Recently when TOTP2 was on I was unfortunate enough to be earwormed Dean Freidman and some woman doing a remake of 'You can thank your lucky stars'. God that is a terrible song. It was terrible the first time - why did they remake it!! Arrgghh!!  Nomme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lickszz   10 #7 Posted October 28, 2003 Hardly ever happens to me but I concur that if it does then it is usually to help me get through a boring day.  A guy I used to work with had a habit of getting any tunes he heard stuck into his head and repeating them all day vocally. Sometimes I would sing/hum random songs to try to make them get stuck in his head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
