Anybody else get tunes stuck in their heads that won't stop?
Currently the selections playing on my own personal station are:
The Butterfly
The Rakes of Kildair
Arrowsmith's "I Want to Miss a Thing"
All day I hear them in the back ground, fall asleep singing them, wake up with them, tap them out on the table when I'm eating, I keep trying to end the tune but when I let my guard down, the band starts up again, sometimes it's just the last 4 bars of a tune, that really gets me.
The only solution is to change the song, force yourself to sing something else, only you have to be careful because you know your going to wake up with it and you better know more than a couple of bars or verses...
Anyone else?

Sing "It's a Small world After Alll......"

"....It's a small, small, world."

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Gee, s1m0n took my first choice. Now that we're in that season we all love so much, how about The Little Drummer Boy?
Play like you're in Wal-Mart surrounded by green and red plastic.
"Cooooome, they told me, pa rum pa-pa pum......."

Sing in your best Neil Diamond style:
I am, said I, to no one there,
And no one heard at all, not even the chair.
Then order this book by Dave Barry:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/074070 ... s&v=glance
This will either cure you or give you a dozen other tunes that you can't get out of your head. That will at least provide you more tunes to rotate through.
Good luck.

Limerick Lasses. . .and if I'm not careful Earl's Chair. But Limerick Lasses is the one that plays in my head when I wake up in the middle of the night.
Happily, no song has taken up residence in my brain recently.

I am happy to say that I have FOUND THE CURE! Yes siree, after YEARS of stereophonic music rolling around in my head . . . from symphonies to country . . . night and day . . . forever unable to make it stop . . . I have now found a sure-fire cure.
It doesn't matter what it is. I just pick up an instrument and begin playing it . . . IT'S GONE INSTANTLY. The harder I think about recalling it, the more it's GONE.
An unexpected and greatly appreciated gift of music, let me tell you.
So, let's all sing!
"I love you,
You love me,
We're a happy family,
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you!
Won't you say you love me too!"

This thread reminds me of one of Mark Twain's short stories about an unfortunate fellow who met a friend who looked half dead muttering to himself incoherently something about buff slips for a 10 cent fare... pink slip for a two bit fare............. and then he burst out screaming "Punch in the presence of the Passengers!!!!!!! After the man got his friend calmed down, he asked what was the matter and he said he could not get the ditty out of his head and he had not slept for two weeks and had stopped eating. The man said that it could not be that bad and had the unfortunate sufferer repeat it to him. The man then calmed and began to be his old self and bid the man farewell. It was only then that the man realized that the ditty was now pounding his own brain and continued to do so for over a week until he went to the town across the county and told it to some college students. He felt guilty, but was finally free of it himself.

We may have something of the kind here. So share your tunes with a friend, you never know, it just might help you forget them, at least for a while.
Now what is that going over and over in my head???....
"A Buff slip for a 10 cent fare, a pink slip for a two bit fare, a blue slip for a 4 bit fare...... Punch Brothers!! Punch with care!!! Punch in the presence of the passengerrrrrrrr!!!!!!"
