Ear worms.......

The Noise Virus Goon Contest tomorrow night should be good for a few ear worms.

Mine earworm today has been "Bohemian Rhapsody" which we are doing at choir.

OK, so now I have Down by the Riverside jostling for attention with Raindrops keep falling on my head. Cheers janer and Knowsley

Years ago, I used to make a weekly visit a neighbouring office to use their computer to feedback my Department's work reports. Purposely, I would gently hum or whistle 'Raindrops keep falling of my head', as I input the data. The staff in the office would all be doing it later that week. I did this for 3 to 4 months before they realised I was doing it on purpose.

I've got that now - thanks, janerowena!

From choir - Down by the Riverside. Just dreadful, it's been in my head since last night. 24 hours of it and I don't even like it much.

Aaargh....Roses!! You're right-it's back! Not only am I hearing that very phrase I can now see him teetering down the road as well!

I used to sing nursery rhymes to absentdaughter when I was changing her nappy in order to distract her. My bedroom where I usually did this was next door to the kitchen of an upstairs flat. On a summery day when the windows were open I could sometimes here the thirty-something man next door singing Baa Baa Black Sheep as he prepared his breakfast.

For the last couple of days I have had that ghastly and ancient Cher song – Boom, boom, he shot me down/Boom, boom that awful sound… going round in my head. I think I'd rather have Ba Baa Black Sheep.

I could have called myself Lavender Blue, even worse!

roses, you are the cause of one of my extremely-hard-to-get-rid-of ear worms every time I see your name!

Yes, ear worms are annoying things, the other day I had Wake Me Up Before You Go Go in my head all day long after hearing it on the radio in the morning arrrrrgh.

Katek, you mean.... don'tcha Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot like Me?
haha now I have put it back in your head!

And mine today is 'Boom!' Sung by Petula Clarke! I watched a programme last night about French popular music and she was on it singing this. I loathe it!!

I wonder why so often my ear worms are really annoying pieces of music!

(you were right, joannapiano, it is indeed a guitar solo! )

They drive me crackers. I have a default tune that goes round and round from morning till night - 'Yesterday'. I wouldn't mind if it was the original version which I love (or I did!), but it's a kind of ridiculous stylised 'poppy' version that my head seems to have made up just to annoy me. It includes various notes from the instrumental backing, equally popified.
I try to download another song - any other song - into my head, but before long, Yesterday has wormed its way back in with a vengeance. Aagghh .
I have thought of having hypnotherapy to remove it

I think I will take johanna's on board for the afternoon #gardening #sunshine

Why oh why is "She wore red feathers and a hula hula skirt" going round in my head. Where did it come from, I'm the wrong sex to be singing it, but anyone entering the men's toilets this morning while I was busy would have heard it. Arrgh!!!

Little Bunny Foo Foo is not gonna do it for me!

I've got a Rod Stewart one at the moment. Don't know where it came from!!

My version is fairly unrecognisable.

I can wake at 5am to The Wheels On The Bus or the Hampson Hughes ad jingle - there's no override in my brain that discards unwanted tunes. The other morning it was Sidewinder by REM - I really like that one, but not when it's the same bit over and over again. Concentrating on something to distract me wakes me up completely.

Oh, I think it's a synthesizer solo in my head!

Yes, Ana, in my head there is a guitar solo!

Little rabbit foo foo was one of our favourites.

On Cbeebies rhere is a program call Raa Raa the noisy little lion and I just have to hear a snippet and its qith me the rest of the day.

Raa raa you are a noisy little lion, raa raa you are louder than them all. In the jingly jangle jungle noise. You are the noisiest little lion. Raa raa ...

pompa just clicked on your link. I can think of worse earworms! What an amazing voice At least it's got rid of Little Rabbit FooFoo

Guitar solo? In Mr Blue Sky?
