How is that even possible? Doesn't that require about 10,000 excess calories? Creeping Chaos, I've never been able to gain two pounds in three months! I've always thought the stuck-song thing involved oxygen deprivation or other brain-impairment. My worst cases were in hikes over 11,000 feet. While riding, maybe it's low blood glucose. mx You gained two pounds in three days??? How is that even possible? Doesn’t that require about 10,000 excess calories?

You don't need to know the lyrics, but just the melody.This doesn't work for me though, I need to know the lyrics, but unfortunately I never know those. So usually I repeat the same sentence over and over again....really annoying. Or just the chorus.My way to get rid of earworms is to find a stronger earworm, that always works for me (worked when I tried to get the pokemon theme song out of my head).

I too used to get the linking verbs stuck in my head. Especially when i played football, maybe it was the reason i was never any good at football. The bad thing about it is that it never ends, if it eventually ties back to the start then you just kepp repeating it, if it doesn;t go back to the start you end up just trying to figure out what comes next. Id love any song stuck in my head as oppossed to that thing. come to think of it, i haven't had it for a couple of years now. Yay! I thought i was just wierd.

(cue first time sound effect)   Anyway, I am a sound engineer at a church and this week we are doing the Gwen Stefani song, "If I were a rich girl," so I've been listening to it alot lately.  I did a 2 hour ride today and that's the only thing going thru my head.  It's driving me nuts.  I've never liked the song and I'm not a girl but I'm singing it while i'm riding.  I think I need counseling.
