Driving me crazy. How do you deal with them? Diversion? Immersion? Drug therapy?

• Go to the vet. He can give you some drops for that.

• Jesus. What the hell are those?

• If you don't know what earworms are, it means they have burrowed into the part of your brain responsible for knowing what earworms are.

• Ha. Ha. Very funny. So, exactly what are earworms?

• I went around for over a week with a headful of Why Must I Be A Teenager In Love. Pretty damn funny.

• Diamonds are forever, They are all I need to please me, They can stimulate and tease me, They won't leave in the night, I've no fear that they might desert me. Diamonds are forever, Hold one up and then caress it, Touch it, stroke it and undress it, I can see every part, Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.

• Practically everything on SOME NIGHTS by fun.

• I rub my ear on the rug when I got earworms.

• R3, it's those catchy songs (or ads) that you get stuck in your head for hours, days, whatever. Supposedly 'Call me maybe' was the earwormiest song of the last few years - someone actually wrote about it, but I forget where.

• I thought it was creepy when Colin Powell sang "Call Me Maybe" to some female interviewer. But everyone pretended it was cute.

• Lately, anything by Bruno Mars.. especially that "should have gave you all my hours" one. These are good though so I don't mind. The past year has been great for pop songs with huge earwormy hooks, can't remember so many for a long time: Call Me Maybe, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Somebody I Used To Know, Titanium, We Are Young. The ultimate earworm of all time is that bloody Kylie song, the knowingly titled "Can't Get You Out of My Head". It's cited as an example of "perfect pop", bloody annoying is what I would call it.

• The only cure is classical music or "Ommm...."

• I dig them out with some Madonna, because I never continue to hear any of her crap when it's over. When it's playing, even.

• I was thinking about this a couple of days ago when I couldn't stop singing "Defying Gravity" (the Jesse Winchester or Emmylou Harris versions, not the insipid showtune).

• I have a happy earworm going on right now, so I'm okay.

• At least you get stuck on actual songs. I get stuck on freaking advertising jingles.

• aren't all pop songs earworms? They try to be.

• Some are wormier than others, R20.

• Sometimes the theme song from Charles in Charge will randomly pop into my head.
