Frankly, I wish people would not set their blogs to blast music the second you click on them - it always takes me by surprise and since my husband is ill and naps a lot, I have to scramble to click out of the offending blog before I've had a chance to read it.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-35926050577568133552010-10-22T19:24:06.999-07:002010-10-22T19:24:06.999-07:00Josie: I have had remnants of a song playing over ...Josie: I have had remnants of a song playing over and over since Mama got so sick this last month. She used to play a song on the piano and we would sing it together--something like "We Have the Right to Love Again." It was from a Tyronne Power movie. That's about all I can remember. Do you know the song?

Last week on The Daily Show one of the guests was Johnny Knoxville, who stars in a series of movies I've never seen called Jackass (and that answers why I've never seen them, I suppose). <br /><br />They played an (admittedly hilarious) clip prior to his interview from the latest movie that had a song playing during it, "You can't roller skate in a Buffalo Herd, no you can't roller skate in a Buffalo Herd" and even just reading about the concept of ear worms brought that thing back to life in my head. <br /><br />Arrrgh, and hee! It's actually sort of a cute song, it just isn't one I want playing nonstop in my head. <br /><br />What do you suppose it is? The repetitious quality of the melody or lyrics, or both? Reminds me of Groundhog's Day wherein Bill Murray starts murdering his alarm clock every day as it spits out "Babe, I got you Babe" over and over, for nearly an eternity.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-69628621685966692622010-10-21T03:32:28.123-07:002010-10-21T03:32:28.123-07:00Best antidote for that is to mute the sound before...Best antidote for that is to mute the sound before you visit the site!

I know some like it, but i'm fussy about noise, & usually do NOT have music playing when i'm reading. <br /><br />I do get earworms, but usually something that i've thought of (although i cause a few, too, if i'm mentioning a song!) I just prefer to choose my own music, thank you. I appreciate that most bloggers don't have music any more.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-62961843330395102342010-10-20T20:33:50.412-07:002010-10-20T20:33:50.412-07:00You make everything seem so interesting, Jo.

I suffer from Cronic earworms, although until today I didn't know what to call them.<br /> My husband and I are huge music fans...all genres and when a bit of song sticks it is stuck good. Sometimes we even intentionally plant earworms in each others ears. All I have to do is sing a bit from lets say... Windy... you know...who's tripin' down the steets of the city...everyone knows it's Windy, and my hubby will be singing it all day, maybe days.<br /><br />More often than not when I wake in the night, the instant I wake, the earworm sings. I had Neil Diamonds <br />"Cracklin' Rose" in my head day and night for about a week and then one day we were in the post office waiting in line and over the radio I heard "Cracklin'Rose you make me smile..." my hubby turned to me and said "Oh No... you're done for".<br /><br />I have even subconciously put together medleys that no one would attempt and they play in my head all night. I don't mind it enough to take medicine for it though. <br /><br />Oh and Lady Gaga is going to take over the world with her earworms!<br /> ;0)Jennifer Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194865772198170276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-45748790608108968212010-10-20T14:54:58.069-07:002010-10-20T14:54:58.069-07:00"...earworms are more likely to last longer f..."...earworms are more likely to last longer for women and to irritate them more than men." <br /><br />I don't know some men can really irritate the shit out of you!!
