I don't know how but they popped into my head weeks ago and I can't get them out. and not even their good stuff, it's all the early teenybopper crap like "she loves you" and "I want to hold your hand" and "it won't be long" and "hard day's night."

how do you get something out of your head when it's multiple different songs by the same artist? share your strats and tips for killing earworms itt. please. I have a family

i usually just start on some Ramones. it leads to a Ramones mega-mix stuck in my head instead of whatever i was trying to get rid of, but at least it's a change.

It's a really good song

To get it out of your head you just get a better song stuck in your head like this one

Listen to The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian or Kylie Monogue - The loco-motion a couple of times and your frontal lobe should exorcise the demon.

I'll gladly trade you any of those earworms for Elton John's "Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting", which has been bouncing around in my head for weeks now. It's not even bad, it's just literally too much of a good thing

Scatman songs get stuck in my head. They are frustrating because you can't just scat along with ease.

i used to work on a job site that had a sensor at the gate, so if you walked or drove through the gate it would make three loud beeps. the only problem was the three beeps were the exact first three notes of the main melody from the jurassic park theme.

doo dee doo

it used to get the theme song stuck in my head at least once a week. me walking around like an idiot unable to not start humming it anytime it beeped lol

in the spirit of chasing a tired Beatles tune with a fresh one, have one of the earwormiest late Beatles tracks in my experience:

Listen to “Mr. Moonlight” by them and you will be cured. It’s bad.

It’s one of those schmaltzy songs you can tell George Martin pushed on them to fill an album instead of recording a better song.

I used to be a huge Beatles fan when I was a teen and a ton of my music style, especially bass, came from them. There are a few songs that are just not good though.

Yeah, Your Mother Should Know isn’t outright bad, but it’s not a good one, either. Surprisingly, it sounds better in mono because it’s got a phasing swirling effect missing on the stereo version. Magical Mystery Tour the album is alright, but the TV film is dumb as hell.

Last Beatles thread we had, I got called out for rightfully saying (as a huge Beatles nerd) that there are some stinkers and downright terrible songs in their catalog. I hate Hey Jude with a passion and think Let it Be (the original release) is their worst album overall.

The only person who should ever sing Hey Jude is Wilson Pickett:

You'll come back around on it again. That opening riff is really good if you have some really good speakers or headphones.
