Earworms are things that get into your head and you can't get them out. A VERY common earworm is a song, that gets in your head and hangs out, rent free, sometimes for months before you get it out.

Some earworms are not songs, and I offer one here. I HIGHLY recommend not telling it to your 7 year old kid, you will hear it for years, I know because that's about how old me and my siblings were when we learned it, and 50 years later, it's still in my brain when triggered. The trigger for this one is eating peas. So unless you want to hear this every time you serve your kids peas...  

You have been warned.







I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps them on the knife!



Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

I recently re-watched watched a movie from my childhood, Smokey and the Bandit, and now 'Eastbound and Down' has been stuck in my head for a while:

The holy trinity of wholesomeness: Fred Rogers - be kind to others; Steve Irwin - be kind to animals; Bob Ross - be kind to yourself

Okay, I salvaged some free CDs yesterday. Yay!

Except one was Jimmy Buffet Greatest Hits. I stuck it in the car CD player.

Now I have Cheeseburger in Paradise stuck in my head, playing over and over.

Help me!

I heard it on Dick Cavett … not that he took credit for its creation.  It has an Ogden Nash ring to it:  

Do you love me, or do you not?  You told me once, but I forgot.

I figure if someone from the future hasn’t tried to stop me, I can’t be messing up that bad.

DONT DO IT MAN!

I often have earworms but the worst are when it's something like the song i made up for my dog's baby hippo toy, which I can't even infect anyone else with.

It's been a rough few weeks between the eclipse and the passing of Bonnie Tyler. If you haven't been infected yet, I'll spare you.

At work, there are several of us that only have to see a picture of this video and the song gets stuck in our head.

I can usually cure earworms by "playing" Windy by The Association in my head. I don't know why that works for me, but it almost always does.

Great!  Now I can’t get Windy out if my head.

Everyone knows the only way to cure an earworm is with a bigger, badder earworm.

And it's not anywhere near "the Season"!.......  Don't even go there, Tereza, you know how this ends...'It's a fool's game'...  (Doh!....why did you bring up Bonnie Tyler!)

[...nevermind, now that 'Windy' is crawling around in there for the rest of the day!.... :-) ]

Yes!

Thanks everyone for sympathy and first aid.

I have upgraded my earworm to Jimmy Buffet's "Volcano." A reggae vibe. I can live with this.

I don't know.
