How do I get rid of this "Oh Canada" ear worm????
It's driving me nuts.
Our home and native land!
It was in my dreams all last night.
God keep our land glorious and free!
And this morning it's even worse.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Help!

1. the way I get rid of all ear worms
just imagine the song as sung by Bob Dylan. Works every time.

I haven't yet gotten a Bob Dylan ear worm, so I don't know if it's his voice that's doing it or the change in singers.

3. LOL!
If I imagined Celine Dion singing it it would never go away.

4. seriously, though
The Dylan thing works. And I love Dylan. Someone in the Lounge mentioned it years ago in an earworm thread, I tried it, and voila!

13. But it worked!
Didn't it? Now imagine this - it has the just the right number of syllables for you to hum, "blue horse, blue horse, blue horse, blue horse..."

15. Damn, I love that horse!
I can't see why you hate it so much. To get it out of your mind, maybe you could sing a few rounds of "Oh Canada".
