Ear worms and the shock they can lead to!

phoenix, please don't tell us what the song is because then we shall all have the same earworm. Perhaps if anyone seriously wants to know she could pm you!

I didn't read the OP properly and thought you can get a shock from eating worms.

You CAN Merlotgran, please don't try it.

Any clues here? I am totally useless at pop songs.

no, definitely a Babycham free zone.

HQ have been in touch, so hopefully all sorted now!

The song was/is "War Baby" by Tom Robinson, on TOTP.

Oh, no, I wish I hadn't read that...hated it then and do so even more now it's firmly ear-lodged...

I liked it!

So there!!

This is a lovely gentle song, some of nicest things that you could wish for others.

Enjoy...for the next few days...

Ana what? why? I seems that something is afoot, please supply info!!!!

Wot you on about phoenix?

You told us what the song was - some like it, some don't that's all!

(my previous post was in reply to merlot, if that's any help )

I mean my post of 19.58

Not an ear worm for me, never heard of it, or the singer!

I was talking about the War Baby song, for the avoidance of doubt...

Why is it that every time I glance at the title of this thread I read "Eat worms"? That is a rhetorical question.

Ana I was just wondering why you said "Enjoy....for the next few days"

Is something going to spontaneously combust, or perhaps the world as we know it cease to be?

(Shades of "Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" )

this whole thread is total confusion

Yes Nina, there is more than a hint of the surreal about it I agree.

Do you know what, I think I understand what Ana meant at 19.58, which is even more worrying because if I'm starting to find that surreal things make sense, it could indicate that I am starting to go bonkers.

Perhaps I should stop having that hazelnut coffee.

I think, only think, mind that Ana was telling me to enjoy War Baby going on and on and on in my head for the next few days.

I forgot all about it until I logged on this morning....

I'm going off it now!

I had never heard of ear worms until I read a recent thread on here. My two most common ones are Here we go Loopy Lou, and Jinglebells Rock. I blame certain not-to-be-named Gransnet posters, but happily the effect is transitory and disappears once I move on to other posts. I've never heard of the one that is the subject of this thread.

Yes, that was what I meant, merlot!
