Memories of a song we used to sing in Primary School came flooding back today:
'At Easter time the lilies fair,
And lovely flowers bloom everywhere,
At Easter time, At Easter time,
How glad the world at Easter time.'
I did look on Google to see if I could find the tune, so I could share this wonderful earworm with you all, but the only one they had was the wrong tune. ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif)

Just watched the video last night, and I want it on my MP3 next. It is a great song. Just added "We Found Love" by Rianna -- very catchy song, but I don't like the video.

Oh , I gotta thing about Rhianna, too. (And I love that song.) Which is weird because I am becoming more and more "done" with club music, but Rhianna keeps sliding under the wire for me.
"Hopeless Place" is so aggressively clubby it winds up being impeccable.

For some reason I was fighting a loosing battle with Wotan's monologue from Act II of Die Walkure this afternoon. This is interesting on two counts.
1. I have not heard it in a couple of years
2. It isn't usual earworm Wagner - the overtures to Rienzi, Tannhauser or Die Meistersinger are far more likely to get in my mental tape,
The oddest earworm I had recently was the finale of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 - but that's kind of heavenly, so I did not mind.

P.S. No fecking Bolero since the last time I grumbled about it

Due completely to the fault of our head chorister: Leap up and down wave your knickers in the air, and the spitting image chicken song. Trouble is I've now got them intertwined in my brain. One minute it's 'Leap up and down wave a chicken in the air' and the next minute it's 'Hold your knickers in the air, stick a deckchair up your nose', neither of which are conducive to serious thought.

I've got TWO ear worms alternating through my brain. One is "Zooropa" by U2 which is quite a cool tune and I don't mind it so much. The other, however... "Kung Fu Fighting" by ? Stupid song and it needs to be replaced with something better. "Everybody was kung fu fighting!"

"Them kids was fast as lighting..." Carl Douglas, hun, and I'm sorry but it's a COOL song. I always picture Sandra Oh singing it while she mops the floor in "Double Happiness." Nice voice, she has.
But here's something to purge it with.

A very loud and complex four-part "Amen", and I can't think what it's from or who it's by! It seems to be in F minor, which should narrow down the options as it's not a very common key for choral works. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

I found it! It's the end of Mendelssohn's "O Heiland Reich".
I'm trying really hard to reattach the Mendelssohn earworm, as earlier this evening my daughter sneakily implanted "Go, go, go on Artaban" from an interminable musical version from the legend of the Fourth Wise Man. I have no idea who it's by and I don't know most of the words. It is seriously annoying!

I am currently on day four of an attack of Bach's 'Passacaglia in C minor.' A piece I am very fond of but has a depressing tendancy to earworm on me. I thought I was over it briefly yesterday as I had a dose of "The Wedge" instead, but it was back this morning.

I can sometimes get rid of earworms by singing Abba's 'Dancing Queen' to myself. It usually gets rid of it, without becoming an earworm in its turn. In the 70s and 80s, I used the Beatles' 'Hey Jude' for the same purpose.

Bear Necessities is my way of dislodging ear-worms - and if it lodges in their place, at least it cheers you up!
I horrified friends by being able to sing nearly all of it from memory (my little brothers had the LP, Back In The Day when flat black things were the music delivery method of choice - and before we get sidetracked into another thread, no, I don't wish they would make a comeback!)
Is it possible to conflate three threads - this one, Peter God, and the music-making thread? I wondered whether people who actively <practise> music are more prone to getting earworms lodged, for that exact reason. The band (including me) had to do Thanks Peter God on Sunday morning, and it has been stuck ever since despite my best efforts.
