Get out of my head!
I am one of those people who suffers from the unwelcome visit of earworms, those snippets of songs that get stuck in your head and play themselves over and over and over without mercy. The one that works its way into my psyche most often is "I am stuck on Bandaid brand and Bandaid's stuck on me". It was also the earworm of Meg Ryan in some love-comedy film which made me feel very almost-famous.
Björn's current earworm is a song popular in Sweden, not at all Björn's kind of music but Björn listens to the radio much of the day and this one (Dansa - Pausa) is played-to-death.
Today I ran across an article on Lifehacker in which one of the recommendations for getting rid of an earworm is to sing "God Save the Queen" at a very slow pace. This is actually based on some kind of research. I told Björn about it but admitted that I don't actually know the words to God Save the Queen. So we collaborated by singing every other line. You're welcome.
Oh please God save the queen.
She is a gracious queen.
She is gra-cious.
She has no span--gles
She has no ban--ners
She's just a really gracious queen
God save the queen.
