Found a nearly out of date carton of pineapple juice, so drinking it up swiftly. Thinking of ways to jazz it up and now I've got that Pina Colada song from the 70s on mental repeat. I never liked it that much the first time, arghggh

@CopperLily

Apparently chewing gum can help get rid of ear worms!
No it can’t. I pushed a whole pack in my ear, all it did was make me deaf.

Let the ear worm leave your body in the dunes.

And if you are to be making love at midnight, get summat bigger than a worm to go back in.

It’s paul mccartneys bloody frog song for me

Thank you - now humming pina colada song as blessed relief from Encanto. Lin Manuel Miranda has a lot to answer for.

@BobHadBitchTits My apologies, I didn't realise this was a line from the song. Clearly I have half a brain Blush

I prescribe this as treatment. Take four doses consecutively for maximum effect, then repeat as necessary.

Ouch, @hangrylady. Ouch.

I'm a bit of a prick, admittedly, but I'm not that mean.

Possibly my least favourite song of all time Angry
Definitely agree with the Encanto recommendations, I listened to the songs to see what I was missing and didn't rate them very much, so gave them a second try and got obsessed Blush

@takingmytimeonmyride

Ah, I'm sorry, I am laughing at the people who didn't get the half a brain reference and rushed to the OP's defence.
Me too. I got it, sadly for me at the moment

you need to listen to the torture song until you forget it.

My favourite is "OP probably has a whole brain".

Probably. *

We can't be sure though, OP.

My head would be lopsided and it isn't. QED.

I read an interesting article about how to get rid of an ear worm song and apparently researchers say if you sing either “happy birthday” or “God save the Queen” all the way through, it helps misplace the original ear worm and resets your brain.
