Something I came up for fun is a list of “Earworm killers”, which are supposed to get the songs stuck in your head, out of your head. Of course, the best ways normally are chew gum, do complex [math?] problems, and listening to the very end of the song. But hey, sometimes none of those methods work. Plus this is kind of fun, so I don’t mind.
“THE KINGS”
The idea: By using the catchiest earworms known to mankind, you will kill any other earworm. Well. Almost any other earworm.
Strengths: Almost guaranteed to kill your earworm
Weaknesses: They will certainly get stuck in your head instead.
Examples: Armor by Landon Auston, Victorious by P!atD, Wannabe by Spice girls
“FRESH AIR”:
The idea: With an almost indie-like atmosphere, these “fresh” songs can get you absorbed within them and allow you to feel like you aren’t suffocating under the pressure of your earworm.
Strengths: Relaxing, gives a breather, can make you forget about your earworm
Weaknesses: Beaten by “earworm kings”, not guaranteed to work
Examples: Hey, Soul Sister by Train, She was Mine by AJ Raphael, A love song/non love song by Jon Cozart ft. Dodie
“POWERFUL”:
The idea: using a resonating voice that echoes across the stage, these singers will do their best to blot out your earworm.
Strengths: May even kill the “earworm kings”, not easily stuck in your head due to reliance on power instead of catchiness
Weaknesses: Repetitive songs may overcome power
Examples: You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban, Titanium by Sia, Let Me Go by Avril Lavigne, You’re Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring
“LOST IN LENGTH”:
The idea: By listening to an extremely long song, you will probably forget your earworm by the time the song ends.
Strengths: These songs will probably never get stuck in your head
Weaknesses: You might be thinking about your earworm while listening to these, weakening their power. Plus, these songs are difficult to recall.
Examples: Song of the North by Brunuhville, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Bohemian Rhapsody, any 6 minutes+ song honestly
