Almost every day I wake up with a song playing for hours in my head, and most of the time it´s something I heard in the evening. Right now for example it´s The Shins´ Australia. That might be a useful technique to get bearable earworms, since apparently we can´t avoid them anyway.
One big mistake I made years ago was using my radio as the alarm bell and having it tuned into a popular music station. While I was still dazed and trying to wake up, one of those songs would burrow its way into my vulnerable brain [it must have been love, but it´s over nuuuhhouw...], and I would be stuck with it for hours. I changed to a classical music station, which rarely leads to earworms but in the morning the music is often very sotto voce and soothing...
One of the worst earworms you can ever fall prey to, Sun of Jamaica, has been committed by the Goombay Dance Band. I dare you to listen to it even once without it not getting stuck. |
