Stupidest Earworm...ever.

I have a song going through my head today, and cannot get rid of it. What’s worse is the song itself: the AARP “don’t vote” commercial jingle, with the politician. Perhaps if I type out all the lyrics, it’ll rid my brain and infest someone else (the only known cure)

I’m handsome, I’m funny, I tell a good joke
I’ll hug you and kiss you, I don’t even smoke
My wife is impeccable, my past quite respectable
Vote for me assuredly
But don’t ask about Social Security

Come have some pie with me.

There…done.

I’m not the only one, then.

The worst part: a little piece of my mind keeps saying “vote for him!”. Argh!

Try llama llama to get rid of that earworm. I’m not responsible for side effects. :wink:

I got rid of it for a while, by forcing myself to hum the Sailor’s Chorus from Flying Dutchman.

Then I came back here to see who responded to my post…and seeing the lyrics started it up again.

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more years of dreaming…

And I am not even fucking English so if you would be so kind as to get out of my brain now, you fucking worm, I’d really fucking appreciate it.

During this election, the worst commercial for me (I’m in Ohio) was one for the minimum wage increase (I think).

It had “If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands” in it. That song has now been stuck in my head for days. I’m trying to get rid of it, but nothing’s working.

I got y’all beat.

Last night I had a co-worker’s cell phone ring tone in my head…

Cheers for that!

What always works for me is running Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s “Karn Evil 9, First Impression” through my brain.

ELP - killing earworms since 1980.

This little dittydoes a great job of purging any earworms you had and putting itself in their place.

Try watching Noggin or Nick Jr. sometime.

“What’s gonna work? Teeeeeamwork!”
“Awwwww, rescue pack! Comin’ to the rescue!”
“La la lala! La la lala! Elmo’s World!”
“We just figured out Blue’s Clues, 'cause we are really smart!”

Yeah, that should be enough to make most parents homicidal.

Noggin, ahhhh!

We’re your backyard friends the Backyardigans
Hear my echo, hear my echo, sing after me, sing after me
The Sunny Patch theme
The Lazytown theme

I’ve decided my daughter is a lingoholic. She may hate the show, but dances with the theme comes on. Thank the gods my babysitters not-so-subversive Barney indoctrination aren’t working.
