God: When the humans are alone, they should be able to hear music in their heads sometimes. Angel: That's a lovely idea. God: And it should be a 8 second loop of a song they don't really like and can't exactly remember the lyrics to. Angel: ... God: There's no way to make it stop.

This is really fascinating episode about the lengths one man would go to to track down a song that may or may not be real. Worth a listen.

#158 The Case of the Missing Hit | Reply Allgimletmedia.com A man in California is haunted by the memory of a pop song from his youth. He can remember the lyrics and the melody. But the song itself has vanished, completely scrubbed from the internet. PJ takes ...

That was a wild one to listen to. As it went on I swore I had heard the song before and couldn’t quite place it and it turned out I had the CD. 😂

This was me and Men Without Hats "Pop Goes the World" for nearly half my life.

I had this with Echo Beach by Martha and the Muffins for 10 years

Thank you for sharing...that was awesome.

I got scared half way through that they weren't going to find it, and I'd be stuck with the earworm! I've had a song in my head since the early 90s, which I google occasionally with no luck. It was a musical theatre song though, from a small revue, so even less likely to turn up online.

Never underestimate the power of online theater kids.

I'm still hurting form laughing at this.

Good morning 🍻

Angel quietly to another angel: It stops if they turn themselves off and back on again. Other Angel: …… ….. …. … .. . You mean sleep?

I'll do all the laundry And you'll pay all the bills Where is my Marlboro man Where is my something something Where is my happy ending Where have all the cowboys goooooooooooooooooooooone I hate this song and I haven't even heard it in literally years and yet

My condolences

Thanks. I even sang it out loud but it's just stuck in my brain like a hair in a biscuit, I want to pressure wash my brain

I'm so sorry for doing this

where is my alf wang where is my furry dong where is my naked stranger where have all the alf cocks gone

God Almighty lmao

Without looking it up, I want to say "something something" is prairie son/sun? Kind of hard for me to be sure when the verses changed a lot. I can hear her singing in my head now. Probably shouldn't have read the cursed comments on this thread...

Holy forking shirtballs This is the bad place

I see what you did there.

Well angels heard the news today It seems my life is gonna change I close my eyes, begin to pray Then tears of joy streamed down my face With arms wide open

Oh no

Well that's just cruel

A few months ago I started adding whatever random song was stuck in my head when I woke up to a playlist.

Oh god

Wow!

I used to work in a library and you’d be surprised how often the telephone reference call was “Can you tell me what song this is?? ”

Did you ever know?

Surprisingly, yes! Until I take my last breath, I will fondly remember singing “Jenny” by Tommy Tutone with the caller. “8, 6, 7, 5, 3, Oh, NI-E-INE!!”

You have truly done the Lord’s work. There will be MANY stars on your crown in heaven for taking this on.

Yeah, this needs to be reposted every so often. If only so I can reiterate... I LAUGH MY ASS OFF EVERY TIME I READ IT.

Problem is, I hit the like button last time I saw it on my feed and so now have little way of showing further appreciation. I’ve been awake for less than five minutes and today’s song is “sha-aa-aa-aaary bayay-beee, Sha-aa-ry won’t you come out tonight” and no I’m not going to look up the spelling.

I reposted it so every once in a while when someone else likes it, I see it in my feed again. Not sure how the algorithm works that way, but... Whenever it pops up, I repost it. AGAIN. Because, come on. GENIUS.

Frankly I’m hoping your earworm replaces mine I need a break

My music loving ocd being adhd yelling possible spectrum person, says “this is true and sometimes it’s just a riff or a subtle background vocal but it’s a loop that rattles the brain.”

🎯🎯🎯

Even better now. I have non stop 24/7 tinnitus due to chemo several years ago. (All good now) Now I hear the music with a record scratch!😎😆🤣

I'm glad about the chemo results. Sorry about the tinnitus. I have it, too. I describe it thusly: It's like having a stadium full of cicadas... IN MY FUCKING HEAD.

Out. Of. Tune! Yep, exactly that. Ahh well, far better than the alternatives.😎

I don't know about decibels, but I'm CERTAIN whatever decibel these motherfuckers reach in my head is only heard by dogs and people with tinnitus. And if the whole WORLD could hear it - every day, all day, as I do - we would probably be WAY too distracted to fight wars.

Mine at least stays fairly steady. Thankful for that being nonstop 24/7. I was actually able to hear dog whistles when I was younger. Mine is about the same frequency as what is used in some locations to "chase away the youth". Oddly, I stay awake until 4 AM for the relative quiet.

I swear to christ, every time I come back to this I fucking laugh all over again.

The Holy Earworm

This is simply... high art.

I'm always trying to tell people this

I’m a Ken! Anywhere else I’d be a ten! etc

You know, this actually reminds me of 'musical ear' that I had a while back. I suffer from tinnitus in my left ear, but I went through a period where I could literally hear a musical tune playing over and over again in that ear. The tune varied over time. I don't experience it much any more. <.<

Oh wow

Kirsten Hersh talks about experiencing this after a head injury. She had a bike accident that left her with non stop music in her head.
