Could be a lot worse DM.
I watched Mama Mia a couple of weeks ago and it's been Abba all the way since then

Re: Earworms?

It's things with a good beat that tend to get in there and won't go away.... Lindisfarne's Lady Eleanor is one of the worst...keep humming it....

maybe it will displace Blackbird!

Re: Earworms?

I get this a lot because of doing musicals with kids. (OK - you try rehearsing Annie and staying sane)
What you do is - you find another song (not a `catchy` one), and every time the annoying one starts up in your head, you deliberately think of the other one. It works - don`t ask me why.

I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
Get on your nerves, get on your nerves.

And it goes something like this:

Re: Earworms?

Nah - try the MADNESS musical, Our House. Did you know that all Madness songs have the same beat, key, melody....
It`s probably where the name comes from.
All togther now......

Lloyd George knew my father,
Father knew Lloyd George
