EarWorm
#36642
Take my love, Take my land, Take me where I cannot stand, I don't care, I'm still free, You can't take the sky from me~ Can you tell that I regret watching all of Firefly in one setting?
#36643
This troper has gotten many an AnimeThemeSong stuck in her head. She usually hums (and sometimes full-out singsi) them during school, much to the annoyance of her classmates.
#36644
This troper had once started to fantasize about making his own SuperRobot show (a project which, of course, will never be achieved). And, for added fun, he started to imagine what the opening would be. It's only a few days later that he realized he was constantly humming the music he imagined. That's right, this troper ''auto-
earwormed''.
#36645
I am a songwriter, but it doesn't necessarily mean my songs frolic in my head all the time. But the songs I write that I ''do'' end up singing all the time are ''the'' best ones that I've written. Meanwhile, as a Super Junior fangirl...
#36646
This troper just heard a few seconds of
Super Sonic Racing and it NEVER LEFT HIS MIND! He was also foolish enough to search for more songs from that game and ended up with more
earworms!
#36647
Does anyone other than this troper unconsciously create ''mashups'' of songs in their heads that don't actually exist? For example, my mind always wants to segue from Raffi's "Bananaphone" into The Beatles' "Honey Pie" since they both have food in the title and are in the same key. (I don't have perfect pitch but I'm very good at detecting keys—but this is a curse when it comes to song-stickiness.)
#36648
I can get just about any song in my head. From {{Aerosmith}} to LittleShopOfHorrors to
Rakuen to
Miku Hatsune.
#36649
Update! There is
this fan video of most of the {{Hetalia}} characters and they each have a song from a country each one represents.
#36650
This troper ''always'' has a song stuck in their head. The weirdest has to be
Toy Boy by Mika. I love you Mika, but why do you write such oddly catchy music! This is one of the least catchy songs he has and it STILL gets stuck in my head!
#36651
This troper repeatedly starts singing "The Internet Is For Porn" in his head after his brother had him listen to it. It's extremely annoying.
#36652
This Troper loves AvenueQ, but it's awkward to have that song stuck in your head when you're at school. As a cruel twist of fate, that's ALWAYS when it pops in.
#36653
This troper currently has the Carmen Sandiego Rockapella theme song stuck in her head.
#36654
This troper has found herself consistently coming back to, and humming, Kenna's "Loose Wires" whenever her brain is idle. Cursed song embedded itself in my brain.
#36656
This troper frequently gets songs stuck in his mind. The incident he remembers the most being "Basket Case" coming in and out of his head for a period that lasted at least a week (that probably is part of why he became a huge Green Day fan).
#36657
This troper once went an entire ''month'' with the "Rimmer Munchkin Song" from
''Red Dwarf'' stuck in her head. "He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer..."
#36658
Try getting through your junior-year Japanese oral exam when the only part of ''Sympathy For The Devil'' you know (the woo woooo, woo wooo backing chorus), repeat for five hours ad nauseam.
#36659
"Wuh-o Wuh-o stuck like glue, you and me baby are stuck like glue." Yeah, that song is stuck in my head, and you want to know what's worse? I HATE that damn song!
#36660
This Troper found the Menu theme (First Strike) of {{Advance wars}} Dark conflict/ Days of Ruin to be Very Catchy
#36662
Dammit, you stole it. Might as well
Link it.
#36663
I'm prone to earworms (it's especially irritating when I only remember a small part of the song in question!), and find that a good treatment is listening to the song in question a few times (if it's one I like. Otherwise, "jamming" it with something else at least as catchy helps).
#36664
I sometimes try to inflict ear worms on purpose, just to see if it works. It does. Just hum or sing a song someone around you knows and likes (it helps if the song has a certain ear worm potential) and trust me, after some time they will hum a long. One of the most successful songs in my experiments was "Right Round". "You spin my head right round, right round, when you go down, whe.." Damn. It worked again.
#36665
I managed to get an earworm from the '''dark ambient''' genre which is one of the least earwormable genres of all time.
#36666
Dammit, KatyPerry! You can't even ''sing'', for Vecha's sake! '''GET OUT OF MY HEAD!'''
#36667
This troper gets the weirdest songs stuck in his head, even songs that would not be normally considered EarWorms. From relatively conventional fare like the
Dambusters main theme to songs like ''
Hymn to Red October'' or ''
Poliushko Polie''. Heck, it probably says something that he uses
Ashokan Farewell to get other songs out of his head. Things get really nasty when the songs are in a foreign language: Ear Worms really ingrain themselves themselves when you have to spend weeks memorizing Russian or Japanese lyrics (damn you, ''HaruhiSuzumiya''!).
#36668
This tropette does, too. The last worm? The national anthem of New Zealand. This troper is American, living in ''Australia''.
#36669
This troper has many sentences of instant messaging conversations stuck in the head, despite originally making no sound at all.
#36670
Whenever this troper hears Mark Hamill's Joker laugh it echoes in his mind for about a minute or so...
#36671
This Troper (as a musician) has good memory what comes to rhythm and lyrics, but whenever I encounter an EarWorm this talent becomes automatically a BlessedWithSuck trait. Currently "
''I am the very model of a scientist Salarian''" has been running on my head for a week now, but at least I like it...sometimes I'm not so lucky about what will play on up there.
#36672
This Toper had the first part of Dance Magic Dance from Labyrinth for an entire day after watching said movie at 1 o'clock in the morning. I had school that day too.
#36673
"We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love." JESUS CHRIST, get it out of my head.
#36674
As well as that, I spent most of today just humming "All we are sayyyiing, is give peace a chance"
#36675
Have this tropette start reciting lyrics and she'll be singing the song for the whole cursed day.
#36676
This troper took
sadistic glee in whistling the theme tune to Disney's ''Robin Hood'' in his house in third-year of university,
purely to get it in everyone else's head. He also torments his mother with it from time to time - he has become adept at blocking EarWorms after that year of malice.
#36678
Sometimes, this troper goes to bed with a song blaring in her head, only to wake up the next morning with that ''same song still playing at maximum volume''. It's slightly annoying.
#36679
This troper once lived below a jazz guitarist; fortunately he was very good. But the way he taught himself new songs was to spend about two or three weeks playing them overandoverandoverandoverandover in continuous 2-hours loops on Saturday afternoons. Even so, I still didn't mind...until the day he started practicing "Girl From Ipanema." IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I AM STILL SANE.
#36680
A few minutes ago I played {{Super Mario Galaxy 2}}- specifically, a level where keeping the beat is critical. I started chanting "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight". I think you can guess where that went.
#36681
This troper once had a car drive by pounding
Soramimi Cake through its speakers while walking to work. This was initially mildly disconcerting, as this is not the normal song for that sort of listening, until the song remained firmly embedded for several hours. Oddly, most {{Chiptune}}-style earworms also end up defaulting to
Korobeiniki after one or two hours.
#36682
This Troper cannot get the MalcolmInTheMiddle theme out of his head. Me and my friend even made our DragonBall version, with him saying at the first ''And you're not so big'' with ''And I don't like Trunks'' and on the second one, I say ''And Raditz sucks''. This is due to him liking Raditz and me liking Trunks. Yes, Kid Trunks.
#36683
This troper has had "This is My Idea from TheSwanPrincess in her head for over twenty-four hours straight. And it will NOT. GO. AWAY.
#36684
You are not alone. It's even worse when you're trying to sleep.
#36685
I sing songs according to the situation. Having to dig for earthworms? "Crawling" by Linkin Park. Trust exercises? "Don't Let Me Down" by Eskimo Joe. Chocolate, my one weakness? "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down. I could go on and on.\\ And yes, I know you think my music tastes suck, blah blah blah. Don't care.
#36686
"
Flying Man" is one of these to my dad. I just play it once, and it's stuck in his head all evening.
#36687
In about fourth grade, I had "Here Comes Santa Claus" stuck in my head. I told my friend Nick, and he Said "Here, try this," and handed me an imaginary knife, which I used to attempt to stab it out of my head with. My next line? "Great, now a knife AND Here Comes Santa Claus are stuck in my head." We made a song of of it.
#36689
I get these so often it's untrue. My problem is that I get a near uncontrollable urge to sing them out loud, which for the most part isn't going to draw odd stares too much. There was one unfortunate day when I had "The Grand Old Duke of York" as an ear-worm and to this day I have no clue where in hell it actually came from.
#36690
Oh god,
Eurovision 2010 gave this troper major ear worm. I'm not even European.
#36691
This Troper considers most
Sonic themes earworms. I even use them as Anti-Earworms against others. Not that I care, though, I think most of them are awesome.
#36692
This troper had an unfortunate experience involving a 13-year-old who knew five seconds of the song "Replay." The few reading this know who I am, and who that kid was.
#36693
This Troper has problems with these things: The Kanokon opening theme, all the Eureka Seven openings, the opening to BokusatsuTenshiDokuroChan, the opening and closing to Claymore, all the first two LinkinPark Albums, half of Miniutes to Midnight, all the non-bridge tracks of A Thousand Suns, Soldier Side, and Boom.
#36694
This tropers friends do not understand why she hates Lady Gaga. It is because I had Bad Romance stuck in my head during my maths GCSE. I hate Glee just a little bit because if I hadn't been watching Glee I would not have had it stuck in my head.
#36695
Same troper as above managed to get Pink's God Is A DJ stuck in both her and her best friend's heads in chemistry after watching Mean Girls the night before
#36696
I am currently unable to get the theme to PoliceSquad out of my head. It just won't go away! I'd link my troper page to "I" but since they got moved I haven't been able to figure out how you do it. ;P
#36697
In 1976, CBS broadcast an ''extremely'' short-lived series about a family living in an apartment in Moscow, called ''IvanTheTerrible''. (IMDB page
here.) It lasted exactly three episodes. This Troper can still sing the entire theme song: #QUOTE#''Life's getting better, Spring coming soon\\ Nine feet of snow and it's only June!\\ The State gives us jobs, and look at our luck --\\ Papa's a headwaiter, and Mama drives a truck!\\ Sing, comrades, dance, comrades,\\ Laugh and be gay!\\ Living in Moscow (beautiful Moscow!)\\ Gets better every day!\\ Plenty of bread here, vodka and wine.\\ Such a big family, some of it mine.\\ Shoulder-to-shoulder, close as can be,\\ There's nine in my apartment, and there's no room for me!\\ Sing, comrades, dance, comrades,\\ Laugh and be gay!\\ Living in Moscow (beautiful Moscow!)\\ Gets better every day!''
#36698
This troper remembers the jingle used by New England Telephone (a distant ancestor of Verizon) for their long distance service from '''''1979'''''. "Take the first five for a dollar-five/ take your sweet time on the rest/ Relax, the second five minutes/ is only eighty-five cents!" I sincerely hope no one has a recording of this...
#36699
This troper, upon playing through the new ScottPilgrim video game, noticed how much he loved the chiptune soundtrack and how awesome it was. So, naturally, the next day or so, he decided to look up some of the music. That was about a week ago.
THIS has been stuck in his head EVER SINCE.
#36700
Recently, I had trouble getting to sleep because I had "Zero to Hero" from Disney's {{Hercules}} stuck in my head, and I haven't even seen that movie in years.
#36701
A lot of the Vocaloid songs get stuck in my head from time to time with the latest song being
Magnet.
#36703
Woe to me, who lives in a household where the rest of the household ''loves'' irritating ear worms. Because it often disturbed my contemplation sessions, I developed a massive disgust and hatred for them, to the point where even if I hear one little piece of undesirable Ear Worm, my mind would act like the military and the ear worm would be treated like a giant monster rampaging a city.
#36704
I once was playing around with Jigglypuff in {{Mugen}}. In case you don't know, Jigglypuff's supers all involve singing somehow. Pretty soon I got people from the same house humming Jigglypuff's song...
#36705
I'm quite certain I'm not the only one scatting
"The Quirky Worky Song. Shudeeoup-Shudeeoup da la dee la de da...
#36706
This Troper just heard "Baby" by Justin Bieber... '''AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!'''
#36707
Thanks to [=MusicChoice=]'s "Sounds of the Season" channel, one troper now has "The Worms Crawl In" stuck in her head. She's had more annoying EarWorms, so can cope with this one.
#36708
For the last three weeks, I've hummed
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik to myself all day, every day. It's driving everyone, including myself, insane.
#36709
This troper feels for you. I've been listening to a Classical music station for the last year or more, nearly every day. If they did not post their playlists, I'd be very batty in humming a piece I couldn't even look up, thanks to the lack of lyrics. The good news is you won't find yourself singing lyrics that might offend someone else, and it eventually will leave, faster if you stop humming and don't listen to it for several days.
#36710
I have been re-watching
Yu Yu Hakusho and have recently gotten the third season's
ending stuck in my head. I actually quite enjoy it! My sister, however, absolutely HATES it when I play this everyday.
#36711
I have The Internationale, the international anthem of communism. It doesn't help that I don't believe in communism.
#36712
Ever since this Troper started watching the remake of Hawaii Five-O, the theme song has been playing in my head continuously.
#36714
More than a decade ago ago I listened to a radio station that played pop and soft rock music. One day I got an ear worm from their station, and as I was singing the tune, I turned on the radio to see what they were playing. Not only was the song in my head the same that it was playing, I happened to be at the right place in the song as well. It was major NightmareFuel for me, and I quit listening to the station not long after that.
#36716
I've had "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" stuck in my head pretty much every day since it was released. Oh, the irony! Mind you, there is a reason I hate "Barbie Girl" with a vengence. I'll leave it at that.
#36718
It's got a lot better! Now it is only "Blood Red Sandman" by "Lordi". Needless to say, this is providing minor annoyance to my family.
#36719
This Troper personally gets the discovery channel theme song in his head all of the time.
#36720
It's very hard to focus on serious conversations when all you can think is "You, your love your love, is my drug..." It's not even a good song! Why can't I get it out of my head?
#36721
When I bought the SpongebobSquarepants OST I'am compelled to sing the entire track till I ran out of breath.
#36722
THIS TROPER DOESN'T HAVE SORAMIMI CAKE IN HIS HEAD! HE IS NOW IMMUNE TO ALL EARWORMS! THAT'S RIGHT
JUSTIN BIEBER! HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!!!!!!!!
#36725
I Love L.A. Wait, no I don't, it's sprawling and artificial and full of pollution and the last time I went there was that nasty forest fire making the air even harder to breathe in. Oh god that riff is catchy. SIXTH STREET! WE LOVE IT! WE LOVE IT! WE LOVE IT!
#36727
{{Rickroll}}. That is all.
#36728
The theme music for the 1973 French film ''Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob'' made everyone in this Troper's French IV class go nuts and wish for it to be a ringtone. This dude generally prefers rock over hip hop, but doesn't make a habit of bashing other peoples' tastes in music and even acknowledges that several rappers make great music that's damn near impossible to not find catchy. Remember that. So for nearly three years ever since he heard it get tons of airplay on HH stations, he just couldn't figure out the title of one particular song he really liked. Should he feel less masculine now that he's discovered it's... Mariah Carey's Touch My Body?
#36729
This troper can't even look at the words "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" without getting that song stuck in his head for hours on end. And amazingly, "It's a Small World" has no effect on me.
#36730
This troper's friend posted this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_-dmSOD9sA video on youtube. For some reason, it has never left her head!
#36731
This troper has a friend who has a song stuck in his head. And here comes the awesome part: It's ''Never Gonna Give You Up''. That's right, he RickRolls himself.
#36732
MASTER. OF. THE. FUCKING. HOUSE!
#36733
This troper heard LaFee's
"Ring Frei" and can't stop repeating the lines: "Eins, Zwei, Drei, Ring Frei!!". Also, Irina's
"Pokka". She even had a dream where she was singing it.
#36734
''Un es skrienu, skrienu vēl, man vēl japaspēj, pirms tu neaizej, gaidi vēl! Tāpēc dejo, dejo vēl, man vēl jāpaspēj, vēl jau nav tik vēls būšu klāt! Tā kā cē-ēēēēēēls, dīvains tēēēē-ēēls!!!'' Yes, this troper has a Latvian song by the name of "Es Skrienu" by Lauris Reiniks stuck in her head.
#36735
This troper got
for a quite long time the theme of TheBigBangTheory stuck in her head. Catchiest song ever.
#36736
This tropers
Date With Rosie Palms would not end because he kept thinking about the Dubliners "Whiskey in the Jar". Yaoi and Banjo is not a fun mix, making it feel like Brokeback Mountain.
#36737
Kalinka, kalinka, kalinka moya, v sadu yagoda malinka, malinka moya!
#36738
YES. This troper's Russian professor is to blame here. And THEN I want to make it segue into "The Mariner's Revenge Song" by TheDecemberists ("Find him, bind him, tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters...")
#36739
This troper is very prone to these. A year ago, he got "Party In The USA" by Miley Cyrus stuck in his head for THREE DAYS NONSTOP. It was awful. More recently, he got "Given Up" by Linkin Park stuck in his head (It was a bad day, "tell me what the fuck is wrong with me" aptly summarizes how this troper felt) until he heard "Gang Fight", the deaf idiot version of "Friday". This troper has spent the last two days quietly singing Mr. Brightside by The Killers nonstop to ward that off. It's barely working.
#36742
This was a triumph...
#36743
Of all things, it had to be Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing". If it's not that, it's the swing classic "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen". I was born in the wrong decade.
#36747
"To days of inspiration, playing hooky, making something out of nothing, the need to express, to communicate..." I've had this and other various songs from RENT stuck in my head since I heard it a few months ago. In fact, I think I've had every single song playing on loop in my head at one point and I've managed to sing the entire musical in my head twice during one day.
#36748
I've also had Glee songs, Wicked, Green Day, Spring Awakening and Sweeney Todd invading my brain along with various other songs. There's usually been something or other stuck in my head for the past three years. I don't mind.
#36749
Just heard the cult favorite...er, now that's cult favorite as in "disturbing religious group favorite" not just "wildly popular favorite"
"Kathy Don't Go To the Supermarket." Far, FAR too catchy.
