Thread Name: a Plague of Earworms
Subject: RE: a Plague of Earworms
Micca, a sure cure for the earworm is to learn the song.

Not long ago I was at a singing session & someone started singing Salonika. Right away I knew the chorus & the song was so familiar but I hadn't heard it sung in mabbe 25 yrs, well maybe I haerd it sung twice since then. But I couldn't figure out why it was so familiar & I ended up sing all I knew, which was just the 1st verse & the chorus for 2 weeks. I swore I wouldn't learn the song because the guy, George, that sung it I see fairly often when I'm in Gloucester (USA). Finanilly it dawned on me that I recognized the song because I remembered that it was George that I used to heard sing it 25 yrs ago. Well the earworm got so bad that I decieded that the only way to get rid of it was learn it. I appoligized to George & told him the story & that I wouldn't sing when he was about. He was happy that I got rid of the earworm.

You're welcome Micca, always a pleasure to be on your mind. HaHa

If you'd like a sailor's parody to the song Salonika (Salonika that I sing is a parody) that I wrote you're wecolme to another earworm.

LOL
