Help! I need an intervention ... earworm edition

OK, so I like Stevie Wonder as well as the next guy, but this is getting ridiculous:

I can't stop singing "Place in the Sun" in my head.

I hear it when I hash dishes - 45 times for a small load

I hear it when I am mowing the yard - 461 times!

I hear it when I am DUing -5,281 times (and counting)

I even hear it ... OK!

In an effort to get it out of my head I consciously sang San Antonio Rose out loud . . .

to the tune of "Place in the Sun"

I have started getting calls from ASCAP about the royalties!

I think my worst earworm ever was the song from a certain famous amusement park ride...

I like when people come up with songs that I don't have on my Amazon.com music library. Just went over and bought that one.

Thanks!

PS...do you like Stevie Wonder?

If you want to get rid of "Place In The Sun" without the trauma of introducing a whole new artist, you might be able to trade that song for "Fingertips Part II"

One of my favorite Stevie songs.
