But the saxophone solo from Baker Street Confused I haven't heard that piece of music in years and I don't particularly enjoy it. Why, brain, why?!

I've had the song Jessie sings in Toy Story 2 in my head for 3 days straight. Makes me cry when I hear it as it is! Wish there was an easy way to purge an ear worm with a song you like!

MeinKraft · 18/01/2024 00:43

The only way I can think of to deal with it is to listen to my toddlers cbeebies playlist

Apparently the way to get rid of an ear worm is to let it play all the way to the end (prompting with a recording if necessary). Not sure if it’s true or not.

Sing

i feel like I'm made out of gingerbread
ah ha - ah ha

yeah I'm made out of gingerbread
ah ha- ah ha

rinse & repeat. Guaranteed to get rid of your ear worm.

though you may have a new one😂

@WagWoofWalkMeeoow I'm up for anything that'll work! Although knowing my mind, that'll tick over into Shrek do you know the muffin man. That's still better Grin

I'd rather that than this, which pops into my head at least half a dozen times a day at the moment:

Thanks, GTA San Andreas 😒

It's not true it just starts from the beginning again😭

Oh God

I was about 12 when that came out

coxesorangepippin · 18/01/2024 02:37

Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

^^

Oh gawd

Wow I've just listened to it. I've not heard it for years but, oh my, I'll be listening to it again often from now on. What a way to start the day! 🎶🎶🌹

I get earworms when I am overworked/tired /stressed . . . And then if it's nighttime, can't sleep because of them.

I was told you can get rid of them by singing the Star Spangled Banner or the Muppets theme tune (It's time to put on make up, it's time to dress up fine . . . Da da da da da da, on the Muppet show tonight) Usually works!

Tonight's ear worm is the hooaa hooaa hooaa song from Twiliight. If you know, you know Grin
