> [@gigi](#): > > Not if it’s playing in your head in this sinister parody of a growl…ARGH! OK, that’s somewhat worse. **silenus** is working on a good one.. A lot of Weebl’s stuff is seriously NSFW, but if you google Weebl + Scampi, you should find what’s running through my head right now. You may have cause to swear undying vengance on me, though, if you dare listen to it. ---

Honestly, the best way to cure an earworm infection is to indulge it. Listen to the song - Over And over And over And over And over When you get truly sick of it, it will cease. Until then, keep listening. ---

My boyfriend and his buddy do a TV show these days (well, a YouTube show) that he wrote a theme song for. It’s the most insidious earworm ever - I don’t even realize I’m infecting other people by humming it. He just released the ([Domain is Parked](http://www.drinkinginthemorning.com/?page_id=31)), if you have something particularly obnoxious you want to displace with a different earworm. It’s a little folksy song, I don’t know what it is about it that has fishhooks in your brain. ---
