I have an earworm so bad that I can't sleep.
The lyrical content is so profound and dynamic that it makes me want to beat my head against a rock. Purge. Purge.


I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I’d love you to love me.
I’m beggin’ you to beg me.

I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I’d love you to love me.
I’ll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I’ll get home early from work if you say that you love me.

Didn’t i, didn’t i, didn’t I see you cryin’?
Oh, didn’t i, didn’t i, didn’t I see you cryin’?
Feelin’ all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin’.
Oh, didn’t i, didn’t i, didn’t I see you cryin’?

I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I’d love you to love me.
I’m beggin’ you to beg me.

Didn’t i, didn’t i, didn’t I see you cryin’?

1. That's a bad one
That's one of the ones that seem to stick around forever. And now you've got me started thinking about Robin Zander... yummy...

3. It's completely obnoxious
and just pop-y enough to get sealed into the cranium like a relentlessly buzzing insect.

5. I ran across it while I was flipping channels earlier. Fifty bucks a month
for cable and this is the result.

4. Hey, I'll lend you my son's Muppets electric keyboard thingy
I guarantee it will kill all other earworms. But be forwarned, you'll be infected with Muppet tunes for days. Your call. ;)

18. Deal-- if you can get my daughter to stop drawing penises on EVERYTHING
she colors. It was funny at first, now it's been going on for about six months and I'm afraid when she goes to Kindergarten in a couple years, her "family" pictures are going to confuse people.

7. My worst recurring earworm
It's incredibly cruel and it makes me crazy- "The Wells Fargo Wagon" from "The Music Man". There have been times it has actually made me wish I were dead.

24. have you tried 'raindrops on roses?'
When the dog bites when the ear worm stings
when you're feeling sad
just simply remember your favorite things
and then you won't feel
so bad

11. At this point, I've found earworms to be useful.

Rammstein's "Amerika" is keeping me up, and I'm damn grateful, since I need to stay awake to write this damn paper! :grr:

26. I think it's gone- it was either you or the Distillers.
I'll give you credit, just in case you end up haunted by it. I'm off to bed- don't y'all break out the good booze the minute I leave!:hi:
