Earworms

[Uncle Frank]

Those annoying songs or jingles that get stuck in your brain for days on end and drive you half mad.
What earworm is currently burrowing its way through your ear canal? If you want to be really cruel you can post a video of it and infect other users too

There is an ad for hellmans mayonaisse with a stupid song that goes 'I turned nothing into something'. It is replaying in my head and annoying me for several days now

[PogMoThoin]

Not sure how this one got stuck in my head

[Uncle Frank]

If you want to stop an earworm start singing It's A Small World.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the illness

Torture territory... especially the end when it starts looping on We are Bold... imagine that going on for an hour in your head.

Lego is well up the leaderboard with

Another that springs to "ear" is the music much used on Benny Hill Show, Yakety Sax. There are loads of versions but I like this one



There is still one beep boop track that's going around my head that I can't track down, so I can confirm earworms that you can't put a name to are worse than those you can.

I was afraid of cross contamination and it turns out my fears were well founded. I have been humming this one all morning.

Yep it does that alright, it's been haunting me for ages

This thread could become an earworm colony, a superspreader

Its interesting to think what else is in the mind of anyone with an earworm.

I didn't need to play the Bold youtube video to replay the entire advert including throwing the thing in the washing machine.

Yakety Sax had me thinking of Benny Hill being chased by women in stockings and suspenders

My Friday earworm.

[Uncle Frank]

This is a long time earworm that pops into my brain every now and then.

[Uncle Frank]

This one has running on repeat in my brain for a couple of days


I don't really mind because before that I had some awful Black Lace songs stuck in my head and this ditty managed to banish them

The ending song track from Brendan O'cConnor radio show today. My brain is not the better of it after listening to it.

I heard that "song". I thought the radio was broken.....

Stumbled over the one I couldn't remember.

The original



and of course the version which is probably better know



which has put it well back in my head.

I once had a smoothwall firewall set up to play Axel F when it started up. Luckily it was rarely shut down

The guitar on thunderstruck is another that rattles around in my head sometimes.

Another earworm but in 2022 they've extended the torture period.

[Del.Monte]

Think I preferred Spar Ads when they were for things like marrowfat peas and used to feature a picture - usually of the local store manager - and a few seconds of voiceover,

[KHD]

I fckin hate this song, every time I hear it I feel like picking up a hammer to destroy the source that its coming from.

I went to see the Sound of Music on Friday and since then "So Long, Farewell.." is in my brain!!!!

I'm currently listening to INXS to dry to get rid of it!! I love the musical but every single time I think it's gone - baaaack!!!!!

This one always gets stuck in my head.. And the feeling I need to watch Reservoir Dogs again...
