Ear Worms

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head and can't seem to stop singing it all day long? Unfortunately, this happens to me quite often. I will hear a small clip on the radio or someone I work with might be singing it, then I pick it up and can't get rid of it for the rest of the day. Even the mention of the title of the song will get it stuck in my head. It can be maddening.

Apparently there is now a term for this. That term, "Ear Worms". I guess I can see why they call it that. I thought I would share with you a list of my top "Ear Worms".

1. Kung Fu Fighting

2. The Facts of Life theme (You take the good, you take the bad...)

3. Chili's Baby back ribs (I want my baby back, baby back, baby back ribs...)

4. Whistling the Andy Griffith theme

5. The lollipop guild from the Wizard of Oz

6. I wanna be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers (I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more...)

7. Big Mac song (Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese...)

Hopefully I have gotten at least one of these songs to stick in your head. You're welcome, by the way. What "Ear Worms" do you seem to always get stuck in your head?

Ooooo, good topic! How about...

"I love you, you love me, we're a happy family..." (aka the Barney theme song)

Uggghhhh!!!

Thanks a lot. Actually none of those songs are all that bad. It could be worse. At least you don't have Spice Girls stuck in your head.
