I haven't got one today, thankfully, but yesterday it was, of all things,'The Ferret Song' by John Cleese and the Loving Pruneful, from 'I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'.

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've had 'This Little Light of Mine' going round and round the brain for the last few days.

After making my previous post, the inevitable happened: 'The Ferret Song' ferretted its way back into my brain. D'oh! ![[brick wall]](graemlins/brick_wall.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!

"Mad Rush" from Philip Glass' complete organ works. The story of why is too complex to go into right now.

I'm so jealous of your earworms, which mostly sound lovely. Today all day, for no discernible reason AT ALL, my earworm has been Cliff Richard's 'Mistletoe and Wine'. Just shoot me now, make it stop!

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.

And that little post just kicked in a round of Joe Jackson's "Passacaglia / A Bud and a Slice" from the underrated album, "Heaven and Hell."
Jackie-- Yours inspired both pity and hilarity, I'm afraid. That is so fucked up. ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

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.

What a good idea - I will try it next time an earworm strikes!
