Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 01, 2014
Transcript:
Rat: Remember the opening of that song, 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'? You know, where it goes, "weeeeeeeeee wee um um a waaay.' Pastis: OF course, why? Rat: Because that song will now be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Pastis: I hate it when he does that.

Not a problem, Stephan — just cancel it out with something else. Try this::“OO-ga-chaka, OO-ga-OO-ga, OO-ga-chaka, OO-ga-OO-ga…”

The cure for an earworm is to keep singing the song out loud.

One of my favorites from LONG before the Lion King. There are worse earworms. For some reason ‘She Rides a Harley Davidson’ will stick for days.

Try “It’s a Small World After All”. Whenever my wife is being really snarky I bring it up on the computer and play it. Drives her nuts…..!

I’m fine with it. I have had “What’s New Pussycat” stuck in my head for days. It’s refreshing to have a new earworm.

back in the 70’s got stuck in Small World Disneyland for over an hour – ride broke down and they couldn’t evacuate us – since it was a newer ride everyone was trying to get on it and constantly talking about it – from that day to this when someone mentions Small World i have to be restrained from hitting them. still don’t know why they wouldn’t turn of the STUPID SOUND TRACK WHILE WE WERE STUCK!!!! oh sorry, 40 years is a long time to live with an earworm.
