My mind is split
Cleaved really, by the inane circling of a song stuck in the brainpan. I hate that. Not even a full song… just a snippet of chorus from Wake Up by The Arcade Fire. At least I know what the song is, but I really hate earworms. Those little teeny snatches of brain eating melodies that just get hummed over and over and over and over until your teeth hurt.
You keep telling yourself to stop, but then you stop thinking about it, and then BAM! You are mumbling some half-remembered lyric through your teeth, the damn notes keep making it past the iron lock of your lips in a low frequency hum only dogs and moms can hear.
Gah.
But lucky me. I know the cure. (Besides hammering your head against the wall.)
Green Day.
No shit.
Any song off of Dookie will clear your head of any earworm. I prefer Basket Case. It works perfectly. Welcome to Paradise or Longview can work too… I am not too sure about She or Sassafras Roots, but I guess those could work in a pinch. But I digress.
Flogging Molly works too. Not nearly as well or quickly, but Drunken Lullabies pretty much hammers anything out of your head at 120db.
True enough.
