Earworm Infestation

Thanks to Chris over at Some Guy's Blog for planting an earworm and starting an infestation in my head. I won't tell you what the earworm is; click the link, if you dare. I'm back to work after a week and am slogging through emails. I can't entirely blame him for my mental state. The work I'm doing is tedious and dull; my mind is fertile ground for the little buggers. Even though I've got iTunes running, I still find such horrors crawling around in my head such as:

• Bus Stop, by the Hollies.
  Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
  Please share my umbrella
  Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
  Under my umbrella
  
  
• Johnny McEldoo, by the Clancy Brothers
  There was Johnny McEldoo and McGhee and me,
  and a couple or two or three went on a spree one day
  We had a bob or two which we knew how to blew,
  and the beer and whiskey flew and we all felt gay
  
  
• I'm My Own Grandpa, by Lonzo and Oscar
  I'm my own grandpa.
  I'm my own grandpa.
  It sounds funny, I know,
  But it really is so,
  Oh, I'm my own grandpa.
  
  
• Piccolo Solo from You Can Call Me Al, by Paul Simon
  If you'll be my bodyguard,
  I can be your long lost pal!
  I can call you Betty,
  And Betty, when you call me,
  You can call me Al!
  
  
• We Built This City, by Starship
  We built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
  Built this city, we built this city on rock and roll
  
  
• Hurdy Gurdy Man, by Donovan
  Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
  Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
  Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
  

One could study my earworms and see a pattern developing. If a song is annoying and repetitive and the grammar is poor, it sticks to my brain like a nettle. And it won't go away...that is until I pour earworm repellent on it. What's earworm repellent, you ask? I'll tell you: Any Oompa Loompa song from the original Willie Wonka movie. Trust me it kills earworms dead.

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me...
