Thank God that empty suit Obama didn’t have a campaign song.

I’m trying to get Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa” out of my head for the last few days.

Rush Limbaugh uses a certain song in his bumper music every now and then and it’s always around 1:45 to 2 PM EST. I know it’s a song from the 1970s and the tune gets stuck in my head. I just cant recall the name. Drives me crazy!

The song that gets stuck in my head the most is the one from
a movie in the mid-60s called “Rome Holiday” or something like that. Had Suzanne Pleschette and Troy Donohue in it. During the movie was a song at a restaurant called “Al Di La” or something like that. Everytime I see the movie, the song’s in my head for days.

Presently I'm stuck with Peter and Gordon's World Without Love.

OK... The all time BEST cure to get any song out of your head... The theme song to “Flipper”.
The only problem is... *nothing* gets the theme song to “Flipper” out of your head.
go figger.

None that I’m aware of...
To this day I can’t listen to Clinton’s “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow” by Fleetwood Mac. It set the stage for the platitudes that infected this last election.

I have always felt that earworms are caused by the link between music and emotions.
A song triggers an emotional response and your mind keeps repeating it to continue creating that response.
I have always found strong emotions can eliminate earworms more effectively than logic. I think this is why other songs can get you on another emotional path,, eliminating the earworm, but potentially replacing it with another.

You
are evil but the song that's stuck in my head lately is Soft Kitty from The Big Bang Theory.
The only way to get it out of my head is to hum the theme from Bonanza.
The only way to get that out of my head is to whistle the theme from The Andy Griffith Show.
The only way to get that out of my head is to sing You Spin Me Right 'Round.....

Everytime I open my garage door the theme music from Sanford and son starts running in my head.
