My Mom was a big Staler Brothers fan and even today, I know every lyric to their songs.

(38,022 posts)The theme music to "Wheel of Fortune" and "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears.
I wake up to one of them chiming in my head quite frequently. Once my mind plays the song it stays with me all day. The "Wheel of Fortune" song wiggles in as an earworm the most for me.
I have no idea why these two songs have taken up permanent residence in my subconscious. I was never a Britney listener and I haven't watched a full episode of "Wheel of Fortune" since the 1980s.

(33,643 posts)Of my head ... about 1/2 of those, I bet I could do pretty damn perfectly.
I mean not necessarily pitch perfect at all times or anything but the right words in the right order and do a damn reasonable facsimile of how it's sung.
Pretty much every Led Zeppelin and post-1971 Pink Floyd song, and a TON of the catalogs of The Eagles, The Beatles, The Stones, The Cure, INXS, The Smiths, U2, REM (well I can mumble just like Michael lol), The Alarm, The Replacements, Talking Heads, Oasis, Steve Earle, The Rocky Horror Soundtrack ...
There's probably another 500 songs I could do that with if I just re-heard them 1 or 2 times beforehand ...

Really frustrating.
Overall, this thread has been a hoot. And why is it that an earworm is usually a song we hate, rather than one we love.
When I am trying to turn off an earworm, singing "Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog," really loud, often works. Only when I am alone, of course.

The only way to stop brain farts is to play some really good music, and sing along. That sticks with me. My current specimen of choice is The Eagles, "Seven Bridges Road".

And I couldnt get rid of it for a looooooong time. Maybe for all of 7th grade, LOL! It was terrible.
