Prepare yourselves...
Thankfully, Adele's Chasing Pavements is about to take over.I got the Adam Ant song "Prince Charming" running in my brain. It's an awful song. Ugh! Hate it.
Listen and get infected too!
This happens to me at times of extreme fatigue or stress. I can recall staying in hospital when my daughter was very ill and couldn't get Neil Innis of the Bonzos "I'm the Urban Spaceman" out of my head.
This whole phenomenon was superbly illustrated in the 2003 docudrama "Touching the Void" in which a badly injured mountaineer took days to descend a mountain and became delirious with pain, dehydration and hypothermia. In one protracted, nightmarish scene he has a horrible, distorted and echoey version of Boney M's "Brown Girl in the Ring" permanently looping in his head.
Anyone remember the old UK schools programme Picture Box? I'm awaiting the arrival of a similar box (a long felt want) and have the theme tune going as an earworm.
Rather you than me **shudder**
Played on an instrument made of bones! (true)
??? ... Where did you find a claim any instrument used contained bones?
The Lasry-Baschet Sound Structures group used the Baschet brothers' instruments made of metal and glass. To the best of my knowledge no organic materials were ever used in the Baschets' devices.
Wait, wait. We need to go back to the important bit.
They play it on the radio?!
Yeah, think if it was this one instead...At least it's got a bit of class, I've had Dido's Lament stuck for most of the day...
At work an electronic sound goes off which sets me humming a Chris Rea song. I don't know any words to that one or its title but I still hear it in my head and join in tunelessly.
I haven't looked at this forum for a couple of weeks. On Monday I was at a 90's and 00's Christmas party night. The DJ was awful. All that music to choose from and he p.icked anything but floor fillers. Anyhow, randomly he played Stepping Out by Joe Jackson. None of us knew it and had to Shazam it. I don't recall this song at all or it ever being mentioned. It has been stick in my head all week. I finally got rid of it today, come on this forum in there it is again!! And back in my head...Hahahaha, nailed it! It's not Chris Rea, it's Joe Jackson's Stepping Out.
Wouldn't have got that except for playing a compilation CD in t'banger.

So. A minor coincidence and a stuck tune in one for me. Were you the terrible Devon DJ?My work here is done.
That's not unusualMine from yesterday from work was Tom Jones Delilah. It took all my willpower not to sing out loud " ha ha ha ha" after he sings "she stood there laughing" .
Why, why, why?That's not unusual
:mcoat:
Delilah?Why, why, why?

... A new study investigating the phenomenon indicates that earworms invading our brains at night could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep.
"Our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including apparently while we are asleep," says neuroscientist Michael Scullin from Baylor University.
He and colleagues used surveys of 199 people, as well as a sleep lab test involving 50 volunteers, to measure how listening to music before bedtime affects sleep. In particular, the team focussed on catchy earworms, technically known as 'involuntary musical imagery'. ...
In the survey part of the study, participants who frequently listened to music during the day were more likely to report persistent nighttime earworms, which then had a negative effect on sleep quality through the night. ...
Earworms were reported throughout the night by participants, with those catching an earworm taking longer to fall asleep, spending more time in the light stages of sleep, and waking up more times during the night, on average.
That's more evidence for how catchy tunes can disrupt sleep, but surprisingly the instrumental versions of the songs caused about twice as many earworms (and more subsequent sleep problems) than the versions with vocals. ...
"We thought that people would have earworms at bedtime when they were trying to fall asleep, but we certainly didn't know that people would report regularly waking up from sleep with an earworm," says Scullin. ...
Past studies have linked late-night music listening with better sleep in those with insomnia, perhaps because it can relax the body. The researchers behind the new study suggest that actually it might be worse for our sleep – that even after the tunes stop, our brains continue to process them for several hours. ...
Hahahaha, nailed it! It's not Chris Rea, it's Joe Jackson's Stepping Out.
