Still Waters Posted March 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2013 They are the songs you cannot get out of your head. Now scientists may have found a way to help anyone plagued by those annoying tunes that lodge themselves inside our heads and repeat on an endless loop. Researchers claim the best way to stopping the phenomenon, sometimes known as earworms – where snippets of a catchy song inexplicably play like a broken record in your brain – is to solve some tricky anagrams. http://www.telegraph...f-earworms.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted March 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I will try that, but as of now can`t get the words "how to get that tune out of your head" out of my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReaperS_ParadoX Posted March 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Is earworms the scientific name for this phenomena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted March 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) That's an interesting trick... I usually just listen to the darn song, or listen to another catchy song and that fixes my earworms. I've found whistling Twisted Nerve is wonderful for killing my earworms.. Though I've planted that earworm in other folks heads quite often. Edited March 24, 2013 by rashore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jugoso Posted March 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2013 . I don´t like complicated anagrams. Here is a method passed down through generations, Out loud, sing the song (or as much as you know) to the end and then give a big TA-DA like you are finishing a performance, Works every time! I´d also divulge the key to stopping hiccups, but in doing so would put my life in danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMountainKid Posted March 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2013 My way used to be to visualize a record playing the song and I just lift the arm off the record. Now days I suppose visualize pushing the off button on a CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
