All through this arc I’ve been reminded of the sitcom “Caroline in the City” (Lea Thompson was gorgeous). They had an episode where Caroline was asked to front a new cereal called “Sweet Carolines” and that song would’ve been the theme. The whole thing fell through because Caroline thought the cereal — which seems to have been similar to Sugar Smacks — looked too much like female body parts.
I heard that Howard Stern had a cure for earworms—the old Mennen jingle, “by Mennen”. Seems to work and doesn’t leave you with that as an earworm. Maybe cuz it’s very short?
If you think Sweet Car-o-line was bad, there was some earworm by the Beatles about 6 or 7 years earlier that was 10 times worse. I was a 6 year-old kid then and I had just gotten my first AM transistor radio for Christmas. My mother recently told me that that was the worst noise she ever heard. It made her want to rip her ears off! The Beatles lyrics went something like this ( which I am recalling from memory) “I wanna hold your hand .. I wanna hold your hand .. I wanna hold your hananananan .. I wanna hold your hand.” It was the number 1 song on the charts. The radio station mixed it every 5 minutes because there were fewer bands to choose from back then with the Beatles number 2 song “She loves you yeah yeah yeah .. she loves you yeah yeah yeah .. oh yeah oh yeah, she loves you yeah.”

Short answer: no, we won’t learn, even when the lesson was less than six months ago. Wait until the fall, you’ll see.

We’d all be better off listening to Neil Diamond rather than most everything else on the radio, television, apps….

Like I said a few days ago, it could be worse. It could be Glen Campbell… wait… OH NO!!!… The Wichita Lineman…. Is still on the line…..

To trick is to develop an earworm so vile, that people who hear it stop liking music.
