I’ve had Kylie’s “I Should Be so Lucky” in my head for 7 solid days.

It’s been ghastly 🙂 I’ll still watch tonight’s thing because it’s quite interesting, but can anyone get rid of an ear worm once it settles in? I get unwanted ear worms for weeks sometimes. All day. All night.

Still watching it though 🙂

I'm currently hearing the NSPCC Pantasaurus song. All. The. Time.

I usually have a Cocomelon song in my head. Soul destroying.

Mine's we don't talk about sodding Bruno...

Wet Leg's Wet Dream is mine.

Usually, to get rid of a stuck song, I listen to it whilst reading the lyrics and properly focus on the song. Once I know the lyrics, it goes.

If I do get an ear worm I just have to hope for the best I think.
Hope and dream.
Because dreaming’s all I do, if only they’d come true…

Oh you poor sods.
I remember when it used to be Balamory when DD was little.
I haven't had one for a while but now I've read this I will have jinxed myself.

lightgreen · 28/01/2023 21:45

Oh golly, I feel for you all 😞 It’s when it’s there at 2 in the morning then 4 in the morning, when you have a shower, when you’re driving ….

Can't you get it out of your head?

TheYearOfSmallThings · 28/01/2023 21:47

You bastard, now I'm going to have it in my head for days.

IheardYouButDontWantToAnswer · 28/01/2023 21:47

I've had Meghan Trainor's "Made You Look" in my head all week

lightgreen · 28/01/2023 21:49

Gaaaah perilous, I’m so effing stupid! I literally - I mean literally the way it used to mean literally - hadn’t thought of that. I couldn’t hate you more. 10/10

I’ve had Mel and Kim’s “Respectable” in my head all week. But I only know the first few lines, so they’re on a loop.

catsareme14 · 28/01/2023 21:52

I dread hearing the theme from Titanic . I will be stuck with it for days .

lightgreen · 28/01/2023 21:55

hey cattenberg - been there too this week. I hate it because I can’t change how I hear it, but also because I can’t like stuff I like thats poppy because it doesn’t hooks itself in .

Oh don't! I was a carer when that was mega popular and caring for a young child with siblings
The whole hour I was there
"Rebel? Do you know baby shark? Can we sing baby shark? How big are baby sharks?"
< rendition of baby shark x 1000 >
"Rebel why aren't you singing?"

Soubriquet · 28/01/2023 21:59

Well thanks for that. I now have it in my head. I hate you

DH was learning some funky bass on his guitar, Stevie fucking Wonder was stuck in my head for months, I nearly divorced him!

postwarbulge · 28/01/2023 22:14

The dreaded ear worm

lightgreen · 28/01/2023 22:19

On pointless, I both see your point and wish I had your problem rather than mine - I’d have Stevie Wonder over anything by S.A & W forever in hells eternal flames

I've had It's All For You by Janet Jackson in mine for years - every single morning when I walk into the bathroom. Shaking that thing like you never did see..
