Share your favorite earworms
Here's mine.

The UB40 version. Elvis' is cool too

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can’t help
Falling in love with you

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can’t help
Falling in love with you

Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can’t help
Falling in love with you

As a river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things were meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
Cause I can’t help
Falling in love with you

As a river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling so we go
Some things were meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
Cause I can’t help
Falling in love with you

Oh I can’t help
Falling in love with you

1. It Doesn't Take Much for an Earworm to Embed Itself in My Head
Edited on Mon Jul-12-04 09:35 PM by Labor_Ready
but my mother understood earworms. When I was 8 years old or so, I told her I couldn't get a song out of my head. She said, "think about the song 'You Are My Sunshine' until it goes away. It's easier to forget 'Sunshine' after you've driven the old song out of your mind."

It works! I'm nearly 50, and I still use that advice when I get tired of the earworm that's twisting in my head. Today, it was the opening riffs of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit.'

On edit: oh, no...it's BACK!

2. That stupid new Three Days Grace song.
At first I thought it was OK, but the damn radio station has burrowed it into my brain non-stop and repeatedly.

BOYCOTT 93X IN MINNEAPOLIS

LISTEN TO Q98 IN FARGO-MOORHEAD
