Does anyone else have music brain?

You want a song that will never leave your head? This one was done by Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop and I hate when I start humming it because I know it will.... NEVER end! :oops:

Paul Williams wrote a couple of others with similar feel. Like 'Just an Old Fashioned Love Song'. I should check when he wrote them, cause i can't help thinking that someone remarked that a song of his sounded like it could go on forever and he took it as a challenge and wrote the one you posted.

Shari's producer Bernard Rothman wrote the song for her show with Lamb Chop. (Although I've heard it attributed to someone else as well... Norman somebody, I think... but it was for Lamb Chop's Sing-Along and not written by Norman whazzizname much earlier.) ☺️

The good news I just discovered that the antidote to the earworm, Song That Never Ends, is the song Just An Old Fashioned Love Song by Paul Williams. Now that's in my head.

An interesting occurrence is when a long forgotten TV commercial jingle shows up in your head out of nowhere.

I often have nocturnal dreams about music. The righteous Bros or Roy Orbison songs.
They are heavenly!
A few days ago i woke up to "dueling violins" in my head, and it was actually quite remarkable.
I didn't want to wake up. I wanted to lie there and listen to it!

When my foster son, Paxton, was a year-and-a-half, he requested Baby Shark e-v-e-r-y morning....on a loop...for about a year-and-a-half.

To be honest, I kind of miss Baby Shark...and Daddy Shark...and the whole Shark family.
(being truly honest, I miss them a lot)

Drove me mad! Too catchy.

I don’t mind having a good song stuck in my head, but it’s self-torture if the song is something like Paul Anka‘s Having My Baby. Now a good song can be indulged; I’ll go to Utube and listen to all variants of it. Right now the song stuck in my head is Sweet’s Fox On The Run, but of course I like it! It’s a time-travel delight; the clothes, the big hair, the time period. The song found new life when included on the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 soundtrack…

I used to have that album in an 8-track and played Fox On The Run all the time in my car during my high school days. Guardians of the Galaxy brought back Hooked On A Feeling as well. They have great soundtracks!

I swear, there isn't a day goes by when I don't have some song stuck in my head. I do always listen to music when I exercise, and at other times as well, but it always comes back to bite me. There is always some song playing in the background of my mind, and sometimes I want to concentrate on something else, and there it is rebelliously and relentlessly parading it's way into my conscious mind, like it has squatters rights or something. I also hate it when I am put on phone hold, and they've got some loud hold music on a loop that also eats into my neurons and takes up residence. Anyway, just wondering if it's just me who needs a daily music exorcism.

At this very moment this song is running through my head for some unknown reason.

 
A friend of mine turned me on to this artist during the middle of the week but I didn't have time to listen to what she sent until yesterday. I then listened to some of his other tunes. He is Marvin Gaye reincarnated! I posted two of his tracks in the What Are You Listening To thread. This is the one I purchased yesterday and I must've listened to it about 60 times already. I will be listening more today because it is so in my head!

 
Mahna mahna - doo doo de-doo-do.

Thank/curse me later. :D

As I've stated elsewhere, music is important to me. I'm an album kind of guy, so individual songs don't get stuck in my head, but the yearning for a specific album certainly does. Just this moment I finished playing all four sides of Bowie's The Next Day because I saw a Bowie thread on the board earlier. I guess that's a kind of earworm thing.

One of the huge benefits when I gave up watching TV was that I had more time to listen to music. Back in ye olde days it was nothing when a group of us would congragate at someones house just for the purpose of listening to some music and having a chat. Today, no-one cares. Still, I'll carry the flag!

Gawd, I haven't heard that song in many years, and now it will be in my brain all day.

You're right about the Marvin Gaye comparison. Very smooth and easy mood music.
 
The best way to get rid of an earworm is to replace it with another song. The latest one you heard is always the one that keeps repeating in your brain. I'm always amazed by how long (sometimes all day) one song stays in there, until it's replaced by something else.

So just a different drug for the same "illness". That seems to be my solution too.

You know, I have often wondered: If I listen to 20 songs, how does my brain decide which one to get stuck on. It doesn't seem like my choice matters. There is a DJ in my head, and he decides what I will listen to all day.
