You're a lucky man, Guy. Seriously. You should buy a lottery ticket.

Chin up, Lisa. Be glad she's not auditioning for Cats.

Memory . . . All alone in the moonlight . . .

I've won a prize the last 2 lottery draws Lisa. Must have used up my luck by now.

[Brenda]

Two prizes in a row, wow! I know the phrase is "bad things happen in threes," but JUST in case that should have been "good things happen in threes" you might want to buy one more ticket...

Did you have to do that? Because now that song is stuck in my head. It's 10:30 a.m. on a Monday and already I want a drink.

Put on some Billy Joel and lie down for a few minutes. That should do the trick.

Thanks, Joel. You should have been a doctor.

[Melki]

Now I have It's Still Rock and Roll To Me stuck in my head.

Curse you, Dr. Joel!

No luck this time. C'est la vie.

I didn't know this phenomena had a name till I ran across this on the web:

"I have a science fair project about Earworms (those are songs that get stuck in your head)..."

Has anyone heard this term before?

[Brenda]

I've heard the term quite a few times, yes - it seems reasonably well-known in Canada. Just THINKING about earworms has made the theme song for a cooking show pop up in my head. Urgh.

[Guy]

Never heard the term earworms before. It's a good one.

'I can't get rid of this Celine Dion earworm.'

[Brenda]

I've got an Edelweiss earworm today (it's always the last song I hear - and one of my daughters was practicing piano before she headed off to work)

[Melki]

Just sit right back, and you'll hear a tale . . .

I haven't heard Edelweiss since childhood Brenda.

You can thank me later (all hate mail will be shredded, fyi)

For the last three days, every time I walk the dog, Long Run by the Eagles pops into my head. And, while I admit that for a few brief months in high school I did like Hotel California, mainly because the lines about "they stab it with their steely knives/but they just can't kill the beast" reminded me, for some reason, of that scene in Rosemary's Baby where the creepy people sit around drinking cocktails and eating hors d'oeuvres whilst watching Mia Farrow be impregnated.

But Long Run?

I feel like slapping my head to get it to leave.

[Lisa]

It's worse when the wrong words are stuck in your head, even though you know the right words. When I first heard Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," I thought they sang:

"He's just a poor bly from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this one sausage, please."

Even though I know they're saying "monstrosity," now it keeps coming back to me in my head as: "one sausage, please."

I once played Trivial Pursuit with a guy who insisted John Mellencamp's R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A was actually I Love Seka in the U.S.A. He knew nothing about pop music, but he sure knew his 80's porn.

Super Freak, I Can't Wait, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Push It... Pop music in the 80s' resemblance to porn is pretty well documented.

The worst song stuck in my head was Bacon Pancakes. Everytime I want to make a pancake, that song will pop up.

Bacon Pancakes
Making Bacon Pancakes
Take some bacon and I'll put it in a pancake
Bacon Pancakes, that's what its gonna make
Bacon Pancaaaaaaskes!

[Dylan]

"The Luck You Got" by The High Strung -- it's the theme song on Shameless. It's been on repeat in my head for days and I have no idea what any of the words are, so I hear the tune but the lyrics are just mumbles.

[Dickie]

My kids are grown now. But every once in awhile I harken back to their childhood days and "It's A Song That Never Ends" emerges from my feeble brain and remains...and remains...and goes on...and on...So much for nostalgia.

I can relate, Dickie. My kids are adults, but when they were younger, I had to watch Sesame Street over and over and over...so many times that "I Just Adore Four" and other nonsense songs still pop up now and then.

For revenge, I should start sending them Wagner operas every Christmas.

Any song that sticks in my head has to stay in my head. I am tone deaf so whenever I "sing" someone immediately tells me to shut up. My wife complains that I change key several times during my rendering of "The streets of Laredo". I have no idea what she is on about.
