Brimful of ashes

[FrancesFryer]

Aaarggh.

I listened to a couple of the tailenders podcasts on Wednesday evening on a long journey home and now can't get this tune out of my head. It's been 3 days now 😩 i hope it goes soon, it's driving me mad.

What is the longest you've had an earworm for and what was it?

I had Hopelessly Devoted To You by Olivia Newton John, as a three day ear worm this week and I don’t even remember hearing it anywhere
I’ve not reminded myself about the bloody song

It’s Brimful of Asha, it’s about a very famous Indian singer named Asha Bhosli. That doesn’t help with your ear worm in any way, but at least you now know a fact that you didn’t before.

I had Come On Eileen in my head a few weeks ago, very annoying.

The song is Brimful of Asha, OP!

I keep having Little Donkey stuck in my head 🤦🏼‍♀️

The tune on the podcast tailenders is brimful of ashes. Same tune, different words to the original song.

It's not the original song in my head it's the very small part they sing on tailenders

I’ve had that all I ask of you from phantom of the opera in my head for a solid week now. Came up on my playlist last weekend and it’s stuck!

Gosh I had the cassette single of that, back in the day.

The Robocar Poli theme song

Apparently to get rid of an ear worm you need to listen to it all the way through . Can't see how it would work but I've read that theory a few times.

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow, everybody needs a bosom
Thanks for that op, in my head now !

Ooo worth a try. At this point anything is

I went to bed with my head humming
Washing machines clean faster with Calgon

I haven’t seen a tv for nearly a week
I don’t use calgon
Just why? 😡

From New York to LA, Patsy Gallant, it's been in my head for weeks! I only know that one line!

Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Millions of peaches, peaches for free

PEACHES!!!!!

'City of Stars' - it's on an advert at the moment I think - can't get it out of my head - but it's just the two opening lines over and over - very annoying !

Listen to it all the way through AND let another song start in your head. Hopefully one with less of a grip on you. This will release you.

Had the waffle the wonder dog theme (well actually just the waffle doggy! Part) stuck in my head for a shift at work the other week. ‘‘Twas awful 🤣

Washing machines clean faster with Calgon that made me laugh. Earworms are often good for a laugh but this in particular is fabulous!

Apparently if you hum happy birthday, ear worms go away 🤷‍♀️

George Michael - Careless Whisper for about a fortnight. Drove myself nuts. No amount of listening to other things would cure it.

I’s The By.

It’s an old Canadian folk song I learnt as a child. I watched Katherine Ryan’s Who Do You Think You Are on iPlayer and some of her ancestors came from Bonavista like in that song. She rang her Mom who sang it to her.
Not thought of it on 30 years and it’s been in my head for 4 days. It’s driving me nuts

I posted last week about my current ear worm- just like Jesse James by Cher.

It's driving me mad since I heard it about 3 weeks ago on the radio 😂

Brimful of Ashes and you just got 5. Brimful of Ashes and you just got 5. Everyone needs a Jimmy for a bowler, everyone needs a Jimmy. And now you just got 5.

Full lyrics for anyone doubting that in the context of the OP's post it is indeed Ashes not Asha!

So glad there is someone else in the Tailenders/Mumsnet venn diagram

Vossy Bop here!

It's Beginning To Feel A Lot Like Christmas- fuck knows why.
