For three days, the radio of my mind has been playing “Rock The Casbah” by … do I really have to tell you? I can think of worse earworms. ---

Just the chorus from Luke Bryan’s “Rain is a Good Thing”… it’s lodged in there pretty firmly right now. ---

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nh49a8q2E4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nh49a8q2E4)😃 Don’t hate me. I saw a TV interview with someone (can’t remember who, or what show now) where the guy stated that to stop this, you need an “eraser song”. Apparently these are songs that don’t have the catchy tune required to create an earworm in the first place. The only one I can remember is Tiny Tim’s “Tip Toe Through the Tulips”. Probably because it’s such an unpleasant “untuneful” song. It does seem to work though, at least for me. ---

That goddamned title song from “True Grit” has been an earworm since I first saw the movie. Great movie, but I can’t watch it again for fear the worm will grow stronger. ---
