I watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks over Christmas and now I have Bobbing Along stuck in my head.

Let's share our current ones to remove their power.

As a teen I hated "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard" and of course like all immature teens, my friends, kept on singing it or playing it. And then one day I used it to dislodge another earworm and ever since it is now my power earworm, able to dislodge any other song before fading away.

So tell me, where is Gandalf? For I much desire to speak with him....

What did you say?

[–] vermyndax@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I know an earworm typically consists of a song, but what is really plaguing me is those laugh tracks people add to reels because my wife watches them 6 hours a day.

My adoptive mother passed away some months ago from old age, being sixty years older than me, and from Christmas Eve to the night after, the melody and lyrics of us singing "up on the rooftops" got stuck in my head.

I have a 7mo baby who craves entertainment.

I keep making up lyrics to the theme from Ponyo.

Great balls of fire.

Because I have watched 'Top Gun' and 'Maverick' recently.

[–] PixelTron@lemm.ee 3 points 13 hours ago

And now I have Bobbing Along stuck in my head before I even clicked the video to relive my youth. And I thank you for it! Such an old skool classic film, maybe I need to add it into my yearly rewatch list. “Bobbing along, singing a song…”

Oh god, its contagious. Its going to take me weeks to get that out of my head.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

At least this one has lyrics. I regularly get the light switch rave stuck in my head and thats just doo doo du doo didla doo doo doo and didl um dum, didl um dums....

And now they are both stuck great.

Sawteeth - Growing Sprout

The part starting from 3:30 is my earworm. The sample which sounds like birdsong interspersed here and there coupled with the futuristic beats and atmospheric sounds makes me feel like I just travelled a thousand years into the future and I'm inside some gargantuan rainforest biodome that's in space, but it's more like a 1990's or early 2000's depiction of the future. Absolutely love it when music can evoke such vivid mental imagery!

The Gilmore Girls theme song. My wife had never seen it before. Now she has.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago

Glad to hear that this has been made right.

Oh man, this was stuck in my head for weeks after watching the Bryan Cranston movie The Infiltrator. Perfect fit.

I heard a bit of "Clair de Lune" a few minutes ago, so currently my brain is replaying "Crumbs in my Bralette," a song written and sung by Sarah Millican (to the tune of Clair de Lune) for the write a classic song task on Taskmaster S14E04

Every year I replay Parasite Eve around christmas. And like every year, I'll hear Out of Phase in my head until february. I'm not complaining though 😊

Land of Sunshine by Faith No More. I’m trying to learn it on bass so I have listened to it a lot. Now I walk around fighting the impulse to blurt out “here’s how to order!” when the song reaches that part in my head.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

dude... Billy Gould is one of the all time greatest! King for a Day is one of my all time favorites and his magnum opus IMO.

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 3 points 14 hours ago

A supremely skilled musician. Pushing me to strive for a level or 2 above my current ability.

[–] audaxdreik@pawb.social 5 points 18 hours ago

If you haven't played Sorry We're Closed yet, it's a fantastic queer horror survival RPG. Features music from Okumura Music Group, checked them out and this one has been going in my head all week, https://okumuramusicgroup.bandcamp.com/track/basic-human-rights

LIGHTYEARS by Dirt Monkey

Part of why it’s so catchy for me is how it samples Suzanne Vega’s hit Tom’s Diner.

Cake - No Phone

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 17 hours ago

It's a weird one. Brief background: in a D&D Spelljammer campaign I'm playing a character who's a plasmoid, a sort of intelligent ooze. Every once in a while she expresses frustration with the fact that the other members of her party insist on having bones since they get in the way of so many potential solutions to the problems we encounter in our adventures.

I recently generated some songs to try further pushing her anti-skeleton agenda, Embrace the Flow and Hey, Be Slime Tonight, and they're both firmly lodged in my head now.

Stupid bones.
