I have the Earworm from HELL

[LynneSin]

I have a crappy Mary Poppins "Spoonful of Sugar" in my ear all from calling my co-worker the Mary Poppins of the group.

Damnit, I'm being punished now!!

<singing> Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down-own</singing>

TITLE: Spoonful of Sugar
Lyrics and Chords




< Ebdim7 = ; Bbdim7 = >

In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and - snap! - the job's a game
And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark, a spree, it's very clear to see that

/ A - / / - - E7 - / D F / A B7 / Bm7 - E7 Bbdim7 E7 Ebdim7 /

{Refrain}
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

/ E7 - A - / E7 - A AEbdim7 / E7 - A - / - AE7 A - /

A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along, for

{Refrain}

The honeybees that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire in ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From every flower that they sip
And hence - and hence - they find - they find
Their task is not a grind - ah, just

{Refrain}

2. My latest earworm has been "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis...

not just the song- the whole album(s). For the last week or so various songs from the albums have been lilting around my knoggin... usually segwaying into the next song- one after the other.

To put a stop to this i purchased and listened to the whole thing and found it a joyous experience! Just like I remembered it as a teen...

Yet the earworm persists... but at least the little bugger has it down "note-for-note" now!

Here's a tip: to rid yourself of earworms- force yourself to hum THE MELODY of "Girl From Imponema" in your brain but NOT the lyrics. Including the lyrics will feed the worm and it will be stuck in your brain FOREVER! Hope this helps, Lynne, and good luck!

heheheh

3. It's weird some of the earworms we get...

I've been hearing "Mille Luna Mille Onda" by Andrea Bocelli for over a week!

4. It's better than mine: "You Have AIDS" from Family Guy

:banghead:

5. Two words that will top all of your earworms: Spice Girls.

So tell me what you want, what you really really want
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want
I want a-huh, I want a-huh, I want a-huh...

AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH! I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR LOVER, NOW SHUT THE HELL UP, SPICE GIRLS!

6. "Video kiiiilled the Radio Staaaar..."

Does that help? :evilgrin:

I was singing "All of Me" in the shower a few minutes ago, myself.
