Ear worms
I was listening to Yahoo music yesterday. I tend to do that while I'm at work. It drowns out the overwhelming silence that surrounds me without disturbing anyone else's overwhelming silence. Right after an 80's hair metal song was on, Yahoo music decided it would be a good time to play some good ol' fashioned Neil Diamond.
"Sweet Caroline" BA ba-dum. "Good times never seemed so good."
A couple songs later I was listening to some death metal song I couldn't understand, but the damage was already done. I couldn't get that song out of my head!
"Sweet Caroline" BA ba-dum. "Good times never seemed so good."
Over and over again, it came back until finally, I got distracted enough by other things that it faded away. I left work at the usual time, got home, did some homework and worked on Registry Online a bit. At about 1:30 in the morning, I went to sleep. When I woke up the next day, there it was, stuck in my head again.
"Sweet Caroline" BA ba-dum. "Good times never seemed so good."
That didn't last long. I had to get up and moving, take a shower, get my stuff together and head to work. I get in my truck and start it up. My radio is on Jack FM from the night before. Guess what Jack had waiting for me? Yup.
"Sweet Caroline" BA ba-dum. "Good times never seemed so good."
Damn it! I can't get rid of this song! All the way to work, no matter what I listened to, Neil Diamond was sitting in my ear, talking about "reaching out, touching me, touching you." Neil, you're really creeping me out!
Now I'm looking for something to make this earworm go away. Something! Anything! I can literally hear the battle going on in my head as I sit here listening to music. The music I'm listening to is attempting to evict Sweet Caroline, but damn if Caroline isn't fighting back! "Ha! Your 80's pop assault is nothing to me. I will be here long after that song has died away!" That bitch.
I'm hoping that writing this blog post is some sort of therapy, though I imagine everyone who actually knows the song "Sweet Caroline" is cursing my name right about now.
