What do you do when you can't get a song out of your head? Date: February 20, 2006 09:47AM |
I'm sure other people here have had this problem, but it's starting to drive me nuts.
I remember reading somewhere that neuroscientists have figured out why this happens -- it's apparently because when you've listened to a song (or even remembered one), the song or its melody bounces back and forth between your hemispheres via the corpus collosum-- this is the section of the brain that connects the hemispheres (and which, when severed, leads to the famous cases for which Sperry won the Nobel-- see here: [en.wikipedia.org]). In my particular case, I've been told that I likely have an overdeveloped CC, because I am median-brain dominant (rather than left brain dominant, as are the majority of the population)... so I'm suspicious in my case that when the song gets in there, it may take an extra-long time to come out...

just start singing another one over and over
The Taoist Zhuangzi said, "Good order results spontaneously when things are let alone".
The sociologist, and historian, Adam Ferguson described the phenomenon of spontaneous order in society as the "result of human action, but not the execution of any human design".

Do you remember the song "Having my baby". That ought to do it for you, but I think the cure may be worse than the disease.

I have had "Atlantic City" running in my head for a week and cannot decide between The Band or Bruce. Leaning to The Band. "Got debts no honest man can pay."

Listen to Muskrat Love or Afternoon Delight. That should put the song you're hearing in you head on hold for a while.

Uhhh, guys, you really don't want to replace one song with another... that doesn't really solve the problem, eh? And no, it could be worse, if I have a really BAD song stuck in my head!
I'm amazed that so far nobody has asked me which song it is!
elmo, I may kick myself for asking, but... I don't remember the Picket Fences theme song (I didn't watch that show much)... linky?

Hint #1: think 1976 (ugh).
Hint #2: think arena rock.
Hint #3: think piano/keyboard (at least, this is a catchy part of it).

Nope
Hint #4: The band is named for where they're from. (That narrows it tremendously!)
Hint #5: The song itself has a lot of overdubbing, and was featured on a soundtrack for a fairly recent movie starring a comedian (it being on the soundtrack, was relevant to the time when the song was originally released).
Boy, that should pretty much give it away...
Oh, and once you guys guess it and start listening to it, then all of YOU will have it stuck in your heads, and I will have had my revenge!

$tevie, doesn't help in this case. "Wayward Son" is one of those songs that will turn any guy into a bonafide Wannabe Rock God™ -- watch out for your boyfriend/husband if he listens to it...
