So, in the past three days, and with little or no outside assistance, I have become earwormed with:
the theme from I Dream of Jeannie; the Mouseketeers' song; "The Final Countdown" as performed on the KazooKeylele; and "The Big Rock Candy Mountain."


mirrorthaw and I are agreed that there's something toxic in my head and it wants out. Via song.

I recommend "King of the Road." It is my earworm nuclear option.

Which version? I'm partial to this one (also available in QuickTime .mov format).

Not bad, but it's the Elvis version that is the true destroyer of earworms....

That's awesome.

I'm also very fond of the drunken REM version.

Thank you! I'll give that a try. Right now I'd give almost *anything* a try.

Also found in The Reduced Shakespeare Company in the puppet scene, and I've picked up from a friend the habit of singing it every time I drive by Menomonie, WI. ("Ba daa da da da," "Menomonie," "Ba da da da...")

The problem here is in distinguishing the cure from the disease.
