Jabberwocky   46 #1 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) 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...?

medusa   16 #7 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!

Draggletail   58 #11 Posted February 28, 2012 What song was that Jabbers? There's a worm a the bottom of my garden? I read this post 40 minutes ago.  The end result is that I can't get "There's a worm a the bottom of my garden" out of my head and I keep singing it, in fact the whole family is now wandering around the house singing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
