Sounds bizarre but,

'An earworm is a piece of music that sticks in your mind so that you seem to hear it, even when it is not being played'.

Mine is 'Somebody that I used to know' by Gotye (feat. Kimbra). AArgh can't stop hearing it over and over!

What's your earworm today?

    Not got one today but a few days ago I couldnt get "Sweet - Little Willy" out of my head so I played it on youtube to try and shift it. This was my status after....

    LOL! my 17 year old son wants to kill me. I listened to "Sweet - Little Willy" earlier and son has just sang the line "you can't push Willy where Willy wont go" trouble is hes on mic on the playstation live with his mates!

    I often get some strange earworms harking back to my childhood, many of them I can't stand!

    I catch myself whistling, humming, and, occassionally, singing "If I only had a Brain" from Wizard of Oz. I do it all the time.

    Actually got written up back in the 70's by my boss. It was driving her crazy. What a B*tch! Anyway.....

    I still do it. Where I work now, once I start whistling it, the guy in the next office, starts whistling it to0.

    I saw this topic yesterday and didn't click it becasue I didn't want an earworm.

    Today, a co-worker brought in bagels, muffins and donuts from D&D. As I passed the kitchen I said "Oh, man! Evil woman!"

    So now I have "Evil Woman" by ELO in my head.
