The other way to get rid of an Ohrwurm is to hum “Karma Kameleon” by Culture Club.

Nooooooooooo! That’s the worst earworm EVER! No! No!
No the worst is “My Baby Takes the Morning Train”

Interestingly enough, that song was originally written in 1968 by Italian composer Piero Umiliani for a Swedish softcore porn film. Pretty bizarre origin for a song best known for its appearance on the Muppet Show.

I’m picturing a blonde Viking named Sven, humping to the beat and grunting “Muh-nah muh-nah!” while underneath him Greta ecstatically squeals, “Do doo dododo!”
And it’s wrong. So wrong.

For the curious, there are snippets of the film available on You Tube. The two I clicked on didn’t feature that song, however.
I thought this thread was going to be about the following, courtesy of a commentary on Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
The cure for earworms is to replace them with an even more offensive one. The absolute alpha and omega, for me, is…
The Oompa Loompa song from the original Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory movie. Just try it!

You may not want to subject to yourself to this tragedy that was inflicted upon us in Melbourne.
God damn it – now all it takes is a glimpse of the freaking thread title to get it the song started again.
I hate Mondays.
Will y’all kill me if I tell you we did it for a sketch in our 3rd-college-year fundraiser show?
It’s about the only song I can sing with causing rain

I immediately thought of that moment too.
And, of course, in HG#3 we do indeed find out more about why the Petunias thought that… (that they incarnated the soul of Agrajag, who somehow recognized Arthur Dent look out the porthole at what he had wrought,) and this indeed teaches us some things about the nature of that fictional universe.
I won a copy of the Muppet Show Record when I was a kid for drawing a muh-na muh-na.
Ah, the memories come flooding back.
