Stuck-tune syndrome
Ever get a tune running around and around your head, which simply will not go away?
I currently have Black Moon by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, a song which I hadn't even heard of a month ago. What does anyone do to combat this? Some people say that using another tune to drive out the first is effective — but then of course one must take care that the second tune doesn't in its turn get stuck. |

I get the song "You turn me right round baby right round" stuck in my head every time I hear it, for a while afterwards.
There is a funny joke using the song on the net and now I imagine that when I hear it as well! (The link is not appropriate for here I do not think and will not take that chance!!) There are other songs that have this effect on me as well, with 5 children, aged from 3-12, some of the songs are sometimes annoying children's melodies from some of their favouirte televisions shows that run daily. Some of these have included: (over the years), Barney, Sesame Street, Blue's Clue's, Bear in The Big Blue House, Dora The Explorer,.... just to name a few!! Susan. |

I used to sing songs at work with the intent of having people getting them stuck in their head. Just my twisted sense of humor coming out there. I made lots of "friends" one day when I sang "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family. Within a very short while, everyone kept singing the, "ba, ba, ba, ba..." opening lines of the song.

I often get Robin Trower's "bridge of sighs", don't know why, though it could be worse...could have Justin Timberlake, N'sync or (God forbid) Eminem or some other crap going on...
