Ear Worms

cinebee — Sun, 20 Jul 2014 15:25:25 GMT

I understand that's the term for it. Everytime I have a new CD of music to listen to in the car it happens. After I have listened to it several times I get some of the songs stuck in my head and it about drives me nuts. When I go to bed I can't even sleep for hearing the music over and over and over. Makes me question my mental health. Anybody else deal with this? I love music, especially while driving, but think I'm going to have to stop listening!

I get ear worms all the time. I actually appreciate them when I'm trying to fall asleep because they're a distraction from my tinnitus.

Oh, I'm sorry you have tinnitus. I have often been worried that I will get it. I actually stopped going to concerts because the last time I had ringing in my ears for DAYS.

The music at many concerts is WAY too loud so I know what you are saying there. Sometimes the sound in a movie theatre aggravates my ears too. As I've become older I'm a lot more sensitive to loud noises.

My newest, for the past few days, is the Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night", LOL. And it's one of those ear worms that just pops into your head out of nowhere.

Going to YouTube to try to get it outta my brain, LOL.

Yes, mine is called "Go You Chicken Fat, Go" after hearing it on a commercial.

We used to exercise to Chicken Fat when I was in grammar school. Talk about a blast from the past when I heard that commercial!

The last few times I went to the movies I wore ear plugs. It actually made the volume just perfect. Ridiculous that it is so loud. I have complained to attendants before but it does no good.

Yes it's just crazy. Years ago I attened an aerobics class where they handed out ear plugs because the music they used to exercise to was blaring!

OMG! I opened this thread to actually see if one had real worms crawling around in their ears, only to find I have them, terribly. Different songs and the words to them are just in my mind every second it seems. It's driving me crazy. I don't have them when watching TV. Right now, it's "Saturday Night In the Park", if there ever was such a song! I'm glad I'm not alone.

O>K., just reread the posts, and I see some one mentioned it, or something like it, that's how easy it happens to me. I remember it now, and if it's the same song, I like it too.

Most young people have sustained enough hearing loss that volume levels must be much higher so that movie dialogue can be understood. Therefore people who have NOT sustained noise caused hearing damage have to suffer the elevated volume levels. Makes no sense at all, but that's the truth.

Don't feel too bad, I end up singing or humming these songs and I don't even realize I'm doing it. That includes out in public. Very embarrassing.

I can always count on getting the ear worm each year around Christmas after watching It's a Wonderful Life. ""Buffalo Girls"" anyone? Seems to stay with me for days. Just thinking of it and now I'll probably have it!

Compared to the previous songs listed, this is a very current ear worm. It's in several commercials...and played @ the gym....alllll the time:

I'm so fancy
You already know
I'm in the fast lane
From L.A. to Tokyo
I'm so fancy
Can't you taste this gold?
Remember my name
'Bout to blow

Who that, who that, I-G-G-Y
