Jabberwocky Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 We all get them: Earworms, those horrible songs that get stuck in the head and simply will NOT go! I have one right now, thanks to some breath-taking cruelty on Facebook and as a "Cure," I`m now playing ELO very very loudly. I hope it works but its a very strong earworm and its haunting me. Tell me, my sexy little snot-gobblers, whats your earworm and how do you make it go away...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joto Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 What song was that Jabbers? There's a worm a the bottom of my garden? Turn ELO up a bit louder! we're all going to keep putting this ear worm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've found that the best way is to replace them with a slightly less annoying song. Stuff that you like listening to won't do the job- it has to be something else horribly catchy- but if you replace catchy and unbearable with catchy and don't mind it too much then that seems to work for me. I had WhitneybleedinHouston running through my head for ages (fairly predictably) but found that the Macarena displaced it pretty well. I don't like the Macarena, but I feel a lot less murderous when it's whizzing round my head than I do with WhitneybleedinHouston stuck there, so that's a good trade off as far as I'm concerned. The logical progression of this is that you can eventually get round to something that you actually like, via a dozen or so earworms which are gradually less and less annoying. Of course there's always a risk that talking about them is going to take you all the way back to square 1 though, like typing about WhitneybleedinHouston- gah!
