Title: The tune stuck in my head......
Post by: dutchkev on June 17, 2015, 10:48:49 PM
As an off-shoot of "What are you listenin to right now"

This week for no apparent reason, my brain is stuck on Dirty Laundry - Don Henley
"Kick em when they're up  :thumbsup:, kick em when they're down" :thumbsdown:

Don't know the song but do know about the songs that go round in your head. How do you get them to go away - however nice they may be!!!

Luckily I don't know The title or artist..  :D

This is known as an ear worm :D
Recently heard about some research that chewing gum is able to help "remove" an ear worm.

Simply think about the Sheila's Wheels advert; guaranteed to usurp your current earworm.

I've found the best way to get rid of an earworm is to sing it out loud (ideally when there's no one else around in my case...). Or to sing something else. I've found Yellow Submarine works well most of the time.  ;D

All together now - "We all live..."

That will probably get me thrown off the forum!

The Banana Splits song is my personal guaranteed ear worm remover. Clears out the ear worm and doesn't stick.

However experiments have found that with some people it just replaces their ear worm with itself.

Getting back to the topic, mine today is the riff from Catherine Wheel with "I Want to Touch You", from about 20secs. to about 33 secs in:

Helps keep the pedals turning on a training ride.

RedNex "Cotton Eye Joe". I don't know why. But it is firmly entrenched between my ears and it won't go away. :help:

For some reason, I don't know why I've got the B side of the 1960's Fireball theme stuck in my head. It's called "I'm all alone again". Hav'nt heard it for years so I can't think why!

Would that be "theme from a silent movie" by the late great underestimated Hurricane Smith ?

That would be 1970s, and the music was the theme song for a West Midlands radio station's sports programme presented by Tony Butler.
