Now why would anyone hate this? *evilgrin*

[Gaffer]

Maybe just because I’m “Stuck on a Feelin’” “High on Believin”

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!

[cripplecreek]

Its a sound track.

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.

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.

There is nothing unusual about having instrumental music playing in your head if you listen to classical a lot. Sometimes I can mentally go through a whole movement of a symphony or concerto without being able to place it. Usually it’s Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Schubert, or Mahler.

I know that Mambo number 5 used to play every morning on my transit to work. I opened my morning Cardiac cases with the tune stuck in my head over and over. Worse yet, if I hummed the tune Anesthesia, Perfusion, and my scrub nurse would also have the tune stuck in their head. We cursed the song every morning until the local DJ made a format change on our request.

Rush Hudson Limbaugh mmm!

While watching the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" many years ago, I caught a snippet of classical music in the "Sea of Monsters" portion, and I could not get it out of my head. Subsequently I would hear the same piece here and there, and always wondered what in the heck it was (my knowledge of classical music is abysmal, even though I often enjoy listening to it). I was a lowbrow with a symphony orchestra earworm.

(It was - and is - Bach's "Air on a G String," a title which I initially thought was hilarious. Once a lowbrow...)

Mamas & Papas "Dancing Bear" (for the last week or so). It features Jill Gibson who had replaced Michelle on some of the tracks of their 2nd album after Michelle was (briefly) fired from group.

I have a seven and a four year old. They are Indiana Jones fans. All day, every day, for the last month (since they got their Didjes (look it up)) I have had the theme song from Indiana Jones in my head. They hum it. Sing it. Yell it. It's on the Didj (look it up). Even right now, in the other room, the theme song from Indiana Jones is on.

Current ear worm : Through Glass, by Stone Sour. :-( Oh, how I loathe ear worms. Thank God I’ve never had one for 27 years-can’t begin to imagine-!

What really bothers me is when I get a commercial jingle stuck in my head...especially if the commercial is for something I don’t like.
