Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 13, 2019

I can’t tell you what I’ve had stuck in my head because I’ve finally gotten rid of it AND I DON’T WANT IT BACK!

All together now … “It’s a small world after all … it’s a small world after all …”

“Can’t get you out of my head, boy, your lovin’ is all I think about…”

(la la la, la la la la la, la la la, la la la la la…..)

Whoops, “seaons” is missing an “s”.

Yeah, there’s nothing like humming a song about DEATH right before you’re headed off to sleepyland.

Songs must be installed properly, with the correct orientation, or they will become stuck.

… Simba, I am your father…

…Baby shark….da daa da daa da da da da…

…the Froglandia book of Urban Cures on Synesthesia (blue page 69) : A way to get rid of earworms is to sing Cat Stevens’, Morning Has Broken’…

…from A Miracle On 34th Street: I believe. I believe. I believe. …

… where would we be without wishful thinking?…

…just a memory with nowhere to stay…

…Hank Williams, the king of sad songs you can dance to…

… crickets chirping, frogs applauding…

Goodbye Michelle it’s hard to die

When all the birds are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

With the flowers everywhere

I wish that we could both be there

Think how long you’d stay awake if “In the Year 2525” got stuck in your brain.

Love the artwork in this one. Nice.

I worked in a pizza place that had it on the juke box. It also had “Tie a Yellow Ribbon,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” and “Baby It’s a Wild World.”. There were some others I’ve blanked out but may remember soon.

My usual ear worm defense is to sing the music to Edvard Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King”" OUT LOUD in Popeye’s sing-songy chuckle.

It will drive any ear worm or near-by person away, practically guaranteed.

Oh did he ever return? Oh no he never returned…

I remember hearing the Kingston Trio sing that. My most hated earworm (DRUMROLL): “There’s no place like home for the holidays.”

Anyone for “The Merry Minuet?” Also by the KT. “…and some lovely day, someone will set the spark off, and we will all be blown away.”

That image really conveys how a song can be etched in your mind.

Here’s One For Your Beater Box…. Blinded By The Light by Bruce Fredrick Springsteen

An S! An S! My kingdom for an S!

That’ what loppy proofreading get you….

What?! No one has posted the link yet?! We’ll just have to remedy that. I dare you to open this link!

I deal with earworms by thinking of parodies. Deal with Christmas music by imagining it sung in the singsong Bob Dylan style. Or, in this case, “We had joy we had fun we ate doughnuts by the ton…”

…my world’s a flood, hasn’t stopped raining for days…

… reign, reign on me…

…I’m singing in the rain…

…when the rain comes, when it starts to rain…

… if it keeps on raining the levees going to break…

…Rain, rain, rainWe gotta leave this town…

…how high’s the water, Momma? Two feet high and rising…

…who built the ark? Noah,Noah.Who built the ark? Noah did…

Nice art work.

Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head

We had joy, we had fun, I need a gun, to take this song from my lungs (in a tree

SOUND THE TRUMPETS, BLOW THE HORNS.

To jam an earworm, simply add another one! Your brain won’t run two earworms at once (I use Pop Goes The Weasel). Try it! Before you know it, the inside of your head’ll be full of white noise the way Nature intended.

Day 2. The earworm worsened. My sanity was slipping….
