If someone could please explain to me why I woke up this morning

[dolo amber]

with "Ventura Highway" in my head, and why despite all efforts to rid myself of it it's still persisting, I'd really appreciate it.

Also: any and all suggestions for alleviating this situation short of removing my head with the kitchen shears will be considered.

:cry:

1. Think of Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood Song.

At least it's a different ear worm.

[dolo amber]

6. "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Where the days are longer, the nights are stronger than...moonshine."

Sigh. :(

[_testify_]

2. That's a good song!

[dolo amber]

4. No! It isn't!

:cry:

[_testify_]

7. Well, how 'bout 'Tin Man'?

Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves

But oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didnt, didnt already have
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of sir galahad.

So please believe in me
When I say Im spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

Oh, oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didnt, didnt already have
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of sir galahad

So please believe in me
When I say Im spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

No, oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didnt, didnt already have
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of sir galahad

So please believe in me

3. Try listening to Pachelbel's Canon in D

Here's a link to a fantastic version on electric guitar:

Whatever version you go for, the traditional or the updated, I think that it serves as a kind of melodic "re-set" button. Simple, classic, clean, and gets the mind going in a good way.

Good luck!

5. That's...different

:D

[Richardo]

8. Would you consider using *gardening* shears?

[dolo amber]

12. I *garden* your *shears*, if ya know what I mean

;)

(And if you do, could you let me know? :shrug:)

[Richardo]

16. I originally wrote 'hedge trimmers' ...

...but the multiple layered Freudian connotations hurt my brain.

[lildreamer316]

9. Husband suggests replacing it with New York by Sinatra.

Now I have THAT stuck in MY head.
Gonna go hit him slightly right now.

[dolo amber]

10. I've tried my all-time earworm cure, "Champagne Supernova",

and even IT didn't work. x(

I think maybe I need a shot of penicillin or something. :(

[Haole Girl]

11. AC/DC for 10 minutes...full blast.

That will cure any earworm. Disclaimer: this is not medical advice.

17. Two words:

Llama Song.

[SOteric]

18. I think you could be trying to tell yourself something.

Perhaps it's your subconscious way of telling yourself you need to spend the day blotto on the sofa.

[dolo amber]

19. I like the cut of your jib, missy

:patriot:

[Phillycat]
