i can't get rid of them LOL, there'll always be at least 1 song stuck in my mind

to me i don't think it give me a problem. i like humming the tune or whatever

i have songs always stuck in my head. i once listened to some macedonian-style music (i don't entirely remember why) and it was stuck in my head for 6 weeks!!! and it comes back every now and again... burninates teh mind

Cuz you had a bad day... :music:

hate them <_<

I Abhorr those days... specially the more annoying the song, the more it gets stuck on your mind. But sometimes, whenever a song comes up to my mind like the theme song of Ally Mcbeal, I just feel like jiving to the beat. But then I realize I am standing in the middle of the street at a rush hour tons of people beside me would stare at me like hell...

:glare: i hate the corny commercial songs that stick in your mind

I got Stacys Mom stuck in my head for 1 fucking year. I blame it for giving me C's and B'c that year O_O

I usually get my own music stuck in my head after playing it on piano. Aaaaaaaaaah! I hate my music! I give birth to it, then it won't leave me alone!

kinda like when a woman has a baby.

that article is silly, when I have an earworm of death, I usually overplay the song so much, that I hate it and never want to hear it again. then it's gone ^_^

wow. one would think the opposite would happen..

Nah...the most annoying is when you have an older video game song that loops over and over in your game (Like Mario for example). Now THAT'S the crazy one XD

For example, I'm listening to Terra's theme (FF6/3) I have had it stuck in my head ALL day.


Kept me very friendly company during my major test though ^_^ it was relaxing XD

wow. one would think the opposite would happen..


you'd think so but it works... it's wierd. I always figured that if I have a song in my head it's because I wanna hear it, so I gave into my minds craving LOL and then it's happy and stops bugging me... until the next song ^_~

My last serious earworm was "Going where my Heart will take me." (Main Title song to Enterprise.) Drove me NUTS!!! @_@ But when they changed the arraingment/instrumentation in the Third Season, it stopped being a problem. Weird! :blink:

its like when i have a sugar craving!

Me as well, if I have a song in my head I'll put the CD on, that usually replaces it with another song from the same CD XD I have my favourites - pet earworms :P

wait, u mean the song by ABBA?

"EAT QUIZNO"S SUBS" this song sucked but i can't get it outta my head

I read in a science article that there are certain songs that will get rid of the earworms. Some of the songs were "In the Jungle (The Loin sleeps tonight)" and "Who let the dogs out?" They work for me, but not for some of my friends. Try it sometime and see if it works for you.

"(The Loin sleeps tonight)"

XD

But they themselves are earworms XD *refers you to the link he provided in first post of this thread*

For me, it's probably "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," even though I don't like that song. :\
