*OK. When’s the last time you had a song stuck in your head? We’ve all been there.
These snatches of song infiltrating your thoughts are known as earworms, and according to University of Cincinnati’s James Kellaris, 99% of us have fallen prey to them at one time or another.
They're not parasites that crawl into your ear and lay “music eggs” in your brain. But they do get lodged in your head and cause a sort of "cognitive itch" -- a need for the brain to fill in the gaps in a song's rhythm.
When we listen to a song, it triggers a part of the brain called the auditory cortex. Researchers at Dartmouth University found that when they played part of a familiar song to research subjects, the participants' auditory cortex automatically filled in the rest -- in other words, their brains kept "singing" after the song had ended.
The only way to "scratch" brain itch is to repeat the song in your mind. Unfortunately, this is like a mosquito bite; the more you scratch, the more you itch.
Researchers also aren't sure why some songs are more earwormy than others, but we know a little about the type of song most likely to worm its way into your head.
These songs often have a simple, upbeat melody; catchy, repetitive lyrics; and a surprise such as an extra beat or unusual rhythm -- the same factors that made the songs or jingles popular in the first place (like the Chili's, "I want my baby back baby back baby back ribs" jingle).
Unfortunately, there's no silver bullet way to get songs out of your head once they're stuck. They can stick in your brain for anywhere from a few minutes to several days.
Most earworms eventually "crawl out" on their own, but if a song is nagging you to the brink of insanity, here are a few things to try: Sing another song, listen to a different one or play another melody on an instrument. Listen to the song all the way through (this works for some people). Or share the song with a friend. Though they might not be your friend after you infect them.
And no need to worry if you keep getting songs stuck in your head -- it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.
However, if you actually hear music that isn't there (instead of just thinking about it), see a psychologist or other mental health professional. It could be a sign of endomusia -- an obsessive condition in which people hear music that isn't really playing.

when I wake up every morning there is always a song coming into my head
I also experience this then its stuck in my head all day! would you mind reaching out to me if you have instagram @darleenmadee. I want to talk to someone that I can relate to 🥴
USSR ANTHEM
Bubblegum song hmhmhm
every single moment of my life, a song is there. Is it just me? (its very rare for me not to have a song)
Your ugly
Earworms are pure hell!! Absolute hell on Earth!! F me sideways already!!!
Sure 😉
Kinky😏
Can any one tell me how to rid of it plz 🥺🥺🥺
@@sheetalbhagat8218 Do you have this in OCD way ?
I never had a earworm
For the last few weeks, the Dora the Explorer theme song randomly pops into my head and gets stuck. I've always hated everything about that show. I've already tried everything, but have not found a permanent solution. All that's left to do is lobotomize myself with a corkscrew. I want to track down everyone who was involved in the making of that crap and force them to listen to that theme song on repeat, until their eyes roll to the back of their heads.
Steven Masso Ouch! Hope it gets better soon - for years I had one piece of a commercial jingle stuck in my head, and it drove me crazy. I feel your pain, but it gets better - I promise!
Lol
*Mexicanlifematters*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
lmao
Yeah. Mostly when I was young. But now I don't watch t.v.anymore for years and rarely the radio. It works best!
What has inspired u to do so.! IS IT fr ur afraidnes or love fr some thing..
I too, for no reason I'm consciously aware of, stopped watching the big screen several years back, (it felt too much like hard work!). I prefer podcasts and RUclips audio's. Anyway, now that you have mentioned it, I don't seem to suffer from ear worms, at all of late. Cool 🤔
For me, one of the best ways for getting a song out of my head is to learn how to play it on an instrument (usually a guitar).
That makes it worse for me 😑
It's making it worse
That’s the cause of it for me!
And then i play novermber rain solo by guns and roses , and it play solo in my head🤣😂
So glad I found this video and this comment section, I’ve had this issue of constantly having a song playing in my head since I was about 15, I’m now 20. At most times it’s manageable but there’s also other times where it causes me to have a great deal of anxiety and I feel like the worlds closing in on me and I can’t take it anymore! I’m also a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous and I spoke to my sponsor about this, me being a hypochondriac I was wanting to go to a psychiatrist to see if this was a mental disorder but my sponsor told me to just wait it out lol. I hope this goes away, not only for myself but for all of you out there that can relate!
Yeah same i still remember the night i started having a song constantly playing in my head, which was about 5 years ago, just like u. So i just deal with it:/
How you doing now
How you doing now I o have the same problem
Same here, I got them last year when I was 15, I'm 16 now and they never went away. It's not that bad because I got used to them but it can get annoying at times when I try to focus
i hear beautiful piano music sometimes, but not in my head, but kind of in the distance of me, and i think its coming from another dimension where we cant see, but we can hear sometimes.
Have a good day all... life is good.
That’s what I’m hearing right now and I tried explaining it to my mum but she thought I was crazy.
A cure for earworms for me, Classical music, Beethoven, Boch, the more complex the music the better the results.
Nope! I've had dance macabre in my head for a month. Same with some Tchaikovsky which is highly complex... swan lake in my head day and night.
"If you start to hear music outside of your head that's not there,"
Wow, this guy gets it!
"Go to a psychologist."
Nevermind.
This is normal. It’s no different to singing out loud to a song except you’re just singing it in your mind or within your internal dialogue. The more you try to get rid or it or worry about it the more you’ll do it.
DO EAR WORMS GO AWAY THATS WHAT I WANT TO NO ITS DRIVEING ME CRAZY😭😭😭😭
I'm with you!
Me too
“OH CANADA” IS LITERALLT KEEP PLAYINF IN MY HEAD GODAMN WHEN WILL IT GO AWAY
Me too
The Song I Suffered Being Stuck In My Head Was The East German Anthem!!!
OH MY GOD! I REMEMBERED IT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD ALL DAY!!!
But I Have To Keep The Anthem Away And Play Other Ones.
i wake up and have a different song in my head all the time i dont know if its because im going through those stages of puberty or im just going crazy, im only 14 and i been through a lot of weird stuff and feeling weird this couple of months but slowly its been going good, but now its just the little bit of overthinking and this song stuff, if you feel this way too don't worry your not alone xo
I have songs stuck in my head pretty much 24/7, but it's not really annoying usually, at least people around me get tired of me singing it again and again faster than I get tired of having them stuck in my head
You know what, that’s the reason why I cover my ears when I hear a song that I don’t like. Because there’s a possibility that it will stuck in my head...
Me too
Me too. RUclips is the king of doing that!
I always get pop songs I don't like stuck in my head, but I've learned that listening to a song I love and is obsessed with at the moment will make it disappear.
Emma Lindvall YEs, for some people, a repeated listening session will clean out an earworm in a jiffy. Thanks for watching!
"Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon! You come and go! You come and go-o-o-o!"
You're all welcome.
Nicole S. Ha -that's one of the worst ones!
Nicole S. Mondegreens ftw! :3
Nicole S. OOOOOOO you are so mean, lol.
I hate that song
+Nicole S. I don't know the song hahaha jokes on you.
When I was younger I used to be paranoid that everyone else in the same room could hear the song that was going round and round in my head because it sounded so loud to me LOL
I suffer from serious ear worm and have now stopped listening to music altogether. The only thing that works for me is to listen to white noise. Natural white noise. Example, I drove 4 hours with my car stereo switched off just taking in the wind, road and rain noise. That alone results in a good night's sleep and honestly my head is the clearest it's been in months.
I would like to talk to you about your experience more, where could I contact you?
When I think of ear worms I immediately think of that Spongebob episode.
"Round n' Round the record spins all day,
listen and it'll take you far away
trying to stop this is futile
so just listen again to my musical doodle
do do do do do do do do doodle
do do do do do do do do doodle
Trying to stop this is futile
So just listen again to my musical doodle"
me too
Emily Cano 🎶Think you control it, but its way too hard.
Every time it plays, there’s an electric charge.
The sound in your head is brutal.🎶
...Now I’M infected by the Musical Doodle! 😰
Omg same I came here from spongebob LOL😭😂😂
ok ok plz dont infect me with that doodle song
i JUST got rid of it
do do do do do do
DANG IT
you try to control it but its way to hard
*bends head 360 degrees*
ah memorys
I can never sleep at night because of this. All of the songs from the muppets are in my head.
i need to consult a doctor no joke :( i hear real songs out loud when there not THERE (:(
Get sectioned

Same
Your ugly
"She willllllllll be loooooooved"
Here goes an another one, and I’m again keep stuck with it tnx for you 😁
Listening to Opera or Classical usually clears up earworms for me.
Jayken thanks that helped mine go away tio
Ben here. Currently I'm stuck in an endless loop from a Rihanna song.
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks mine is a "twinkle twinkle little stars"
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks question: why is it whenever sic-fi shows/movies depict an alternate reality, there are often Hindenburg-esq airships? Such as in the show Fringe.
Vincent Jack Agreed
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks for me it's last christmas i gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away this year to save me from tears ill give it to someone special (special)

So many Christmas songs are earworm triggers! That's one of mine, too. /Lauren
I spoke with my doctor and therapist about my earworms and have done as much research as I can to help find a solution. My earworms are constant, all day every day. They said it can be from hearing loss, which I have from being in the military. Your brain is trying to fill in for the noise you can't hear. What helps me is to turn tv on or some kind of noise in the background it doesn't have to be loud just enough to slightly hear. Reading or surfing the web also helps. I've been dealing with constant earworms for about 10 years, and I understand the frustration everyone is going through.
What's creeping me out is when a random music pops on my head, that I didn't heard before
And then it continues to play until I'm asleep and I didn't sleep, 😥 and so I'm listening to music everynight now
You might have heard it not even realizing, maybe you were focused on something else, just passing by, whatever.....The mind registers everything!
@@morefsdl You might be right though, I still remember what I heard last year since this comment, and now is less angsty that I familiar it
I have a song that works as an antidote to earworms. Whenever I get one stuck if I replace it with imagining the chord progression of Pachbell's Canon for half a minute or so earworm gone but not replaced. There must be something about that chord progression mathematically that resets my auditory cortex
I occasionally get children's songs stuck in my head, totally out of the blue. It drives me nuts.
I’m a gummy bear oh I’m a gummy bear oh I’m a funny yummy looking gummy bear
@@ug0053 Dude no please you have just got that stuck in my head lol
I feel anxiety and loneliness when any song get stuck in my head and due to this sleep go far off me🤣😔😔😔😔
i would recommended distorting the music that is stuck in ur head :) it helps for me at least
Usually, I have the Summertime Loving song from Regular Show stuck in my head only because I love the show.
"It's summertime and you know what that means.
Gonna head down to the beach, gonna do some beachy things.
It's summertime, it feels just right.
Gonna gather all my friends and we'll party through the night.
It's summertime luh-uh-loving.
It's loving in the summertime.
It's summertime luh-uh-loving.
Oh baby, why can't you be mine?"
my earworms are kinda weird and im starting to think its not an actual earworm and my brain is just trying to annoy me, its only there when i THINK OF IT, and i can stop it instantly, but i keep thinking of it so the song plays in my head...
“Shawty like a melody in my head...”
I "LOVE" music so much, that it may come to the point where i actually have to stop listening to songs and music altogether. Forever. That sucks. Once a song is in my brain, forget about it. It could take up to a month, for this brain to stop repeating itself.
He's giving a very simplistic explanation. There is a real science to this, as well as some esoteric issues. I made the mistake of listening to Mariah Careys new single, and I can't get it out now, even though I do not want it there. In popular music there is a program called HEMI, and it costs a fortune to license to use for a track. The theroy is it is an advanced demonic entity imbedded in the digital codeing. It's also how you compose the songs. Ear worms will almost always be written in the 3-1-3, 3-2-3 patterns of Pop music. The entire thing can't be explained in a few sentences, this is part of why people study music sociologically, and have degrees in Pop culture.There's more to it than just catchy hooks.
I'm 60 and this problem gets worse with age. I now just listen to talk radio in order to not get a song stuck in my head which only bothers me when I'm trying to sleep. I also don't listen to music after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Sometimes the only thing that stops it for me is to just go ahead and listen to the song from beginning to end one time.
The instrumental from "Where is my mind". It's driving me nuts!
A co-worker of mine named Troy was talking about buying a house in Montana or Wyoming. So I got the song "Oh give Troy a home where the buffalo roam. ." stuck in my head all damn day.
"Dude looks like a lady, dude looks like a lady, dude looks like a lady -"
Me: "I GET IT! I GET IT, THE DUDE LOOKS LIKE A LADY! ENOUGH ALREADY!"
I’ve had Hungry Eyes playing nonstop in my head for a week. Heard it in a gas station restroom last week and haven’t been able to shake it.
Jethro Tull - Aqualung...for 7 years when I was a kid. Couldn't figure it out. When I finally did was about the same time I started seriously playing guitar.
A good way to get rid of this phenomenon would be to destroy the song in your head. When you catch yourself singing the song, simply replace the words of the song with ridiculous lyrics. Essentially play "mad-libs" with the song. If the song has no lyrics, then add some in or change the rhythm and melody. I find doing that, makes thinking about something else a lot easier, which breaks the cycle.
I find if i listen to the whole song it goes away. I reckon my brain hates unfinished things. It wants to complete the song.
Well that's what Google told me to do Google told me to listen to the entire song and it would get out of my head but guess what the shit is still in my goddamn head!!!!!
I got an earworm, so I listened to another song...
Now I got two earworms
Ya same.
"I am a 50-year-old man going through male menopause. I've been worrying a lot about money, and my concentration has been declining. One day, after struggling with focus, I suddenly found that the music I had listened to the night before kept repeating in my head, to the point that I even went to the emergency room. The problem is that if I hear any stimulating song, like a catchy tune or something I hear on the street, my brain automatically starts playing it over and over. It's very exhausting and annoying. I feel mentally drained, I sweat easily, and my heart races a lot. I can't seem to find an answer to this. And as my concentration worsened, these symptoms started happening."
I searched for this coz I wanna cure my earworm😭😭
It keeps saying: "SASAGEYO! SASAGEYO! SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO!"
Aot
Me to 😖
I have synaesthesia where I automatically see a colour or image when I hear certain instruments at certain pitches or particular melodies. I always thought that this was a component of the synaesthesia, having earworms. I know that most people don’t automatically see colours for sounds.
Ever since I first read about synesthesia I’ve wished I’d been born with it. Is it as fun as I think it would be? I would love to see letters of the alphabet and numerals in different colors! I’ve tried to train my mind to do it, but it hasn’t worked.Maybe it would be as annoying as earworms, which I do get.
@@SharonH11100 it’s mostly neutral experiences with synaesthesia, but it’s not like every single song or sound triggers it. Only certain ones, for example if I hear an air horn or car horn I see the colour yellow, a trumpet is bright orange depending on the higher the pitch.There are a few unpleasant experiences with mine anyway, for example The song on my mind the disciples makes me feel physically sick, I see vomit for it. And the squeak when some people play the guitar, and example is stitches by Shawn Mendes, makes me cringe and see strips of metal
@@autistictechgirl Oh, gosh, that does not sound pleasant. My mother was a child prodigy virtuoso violinist who ended up burning her high-quality violin and detesting the sound of any violin. I was therefore not permitted to take music lessons of any kind, but eventually taking classical guitar lessons in my 30’s. Needless to say, never got very good and hated every bad note I played. In my old age (76) I’ve found enjoyment in art, especially watercolor. I think my thoughts about synesthesia were to do with my love of colors, so thank you for explaining more of your condition ~ that it’s not all rosey for you. Best wishes ~ Sharon
I'm unsure if i has synthesia or not, but I experience the opposite of that. for some reason, whenever i hear songs in different keys, i associate the song key with colors. (for example: whenever i hear a song in G major, i think of the color pink.)
It’s not actually bad song, but a song with a lyrics:
“I wanna have More more more more more and more” stucked in my head for about weeks....
One best ways I've heard to deal with it is to passively embrace is I made the mistake of trying to forcefully tune it out only making it worst like picking a scab
My favorite trick is to let static take over the song almost like you're driving out of range. Nobody gets staticy earworm.
Static?
@@tonyas7628 e.g., you pretend the song is playing on the radio and you're finally driving out of range. e.g., on a road trip.
I songs in my head not outside.
Just like my inner dialogue. I can speak to myself, make conversations up In my head, I can imagine things like day dreaming all day without interruption of my daily tasks or work. Like I know I’m not actually hearing music. However I play music in my head all of the time out of Bordem at work. I guess I’m just hallucinating all of it ? For example - I don’t hear it like I would play it off my phone or using headphones phones. I just hear almost through memory. Like if I recall something someone did or said to me from before.
There's a couple lines of about 10 or so songs that continually pop up in my mind. Random songs that I liked in my youth. Over the years the way I sing them get weirder and weirder.
Good way that works for me, classical music, it's more complex and seems to disrupt that repetitive loop.
Which classical music.
"true colors. shining through, i see your true colors, and thats why i love you"
2 Months 1 week , Keep The Streets Empty For Me by Fever Ray since then has been on repeat daily in work ,while eating , in the bathroom EVERYWHERE .....
I guess am beyond help at this stage !
"and after all this time, I'm still into you.." this is not funny at all im really having an anxiety about this
Do you feel better now??
One of the best tricks I’ve heard is to sing a familiar song like the national anthem in your mind as slowly as possible taking(slow down even more when you think that you’ve reached the slowest). I suspect it works because it requires a lot of attention and focus that redirects you from the ear worm. I wish I had the source for where I heard this trick, but credit to whomever it is due
i have play the music "stay with me" is a depressing japan song and i hate that. that never go away.
I can't sleep and my body wants to dance to the song stuck in my head
By the way, the song is "Backwards" by Forrest (he is also the singer from Surfaces) its sOOOooo goood that even when I take a shower, I always dance and vibe to it everytime.
I have an anime song stuck in my head 😆 it's lit tho I'm letting it stay the night lol
Hahahahaha same bruh
Bro same
Same
They always play something in stressed situations like lost valuables or being pressured by someone
Why do I hear these songs like the exact original one? Can the brain just record a whole song?
I had Midnight City - M83 stuck in my head for like 2 entire weeks!!!
Rishabh G You know, I'm going through these comments and listening to parts of each song. Haven't been earwormed yet! (But this feels like a dangerous game.) -Ben
I feel sorry for u
My way of clearing out earworms is to force my brain to sing something else, or to sing a single tone for some twenty seconds. It's basically pressing the reset button.
I am a very musical person, (play instruments, sing, listen to music all the time, etc) but ear worms sometimes drive me a bit crazy; like, I wake in the morning already "hearing" a song, sometimes an oldie, can be anything; then, when I go to bed, even sometimes if I wake up, there is what I call (trying to take it easy) my mental juxe-box. It can, however, be quite annoying. I don't usually eat chewing-gum, but will try that one!

I have 2 stuck on my head right now 😭
Listen to any Bon Jovi song. It will be catchy enough to move the one stuck in your head out of place, but not so catchy as to replace it.
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame...
"Creep" by Radiohead! "I'm a creep..."

I sometimes wonder if we don't get a spike of dopamine when we hear a song or jingle, we like. Thus, it takes a while for the dopamine to level out which might explain the continuous loops in our head. Plus, would explain why it's sometimes difficult for people to sleep at night.... It's like a high. Afterall, an earworm must be a song that we like which is why our brains grab on to it.
mine is dance till your dead
@Jaguar937 holy crap I posted that comment 3 years ago!
why is it still in my head.AAAAAAHH
Hollaback Girl... That shit is bananas. B A N A N A S
i have endomusia. . . . . DAMMIT
I saw a buzzfeed video when a fake ear worm went into someone’s ear and then there was a squelching noise and then the person touched her ear and then went back to sleep and then another squelching noise and then after that she screamed and she was holding her head. I slammed my device down and now I’m scared to sleep. Does this actually happen to you . Are earworms actually a bug?
Mystical Budgies nope they're as fake as Paralycans and Zithyom cats(fictional big-cat and parasite hybrids) so you have nothing to fear.😀
a fucking song from my favorite youtuber made got stuck in my head. thanks for infecting me with an ear worm.
i get earworms everytime before i go to sleep, and they normally last around 2 hours. my eyes are burning, because i cant go to sleep.
in fact, my right eye rn is burning.
Hey are you still dealing with this??
@@Mickado nope, thx for the concern though
Yesterday's earworm was Cherish by the 60s group, the Association.
Fcckkkk when sleeping becomes such a hard task. I'm levitating yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
God Damn Silver Spoons theme song "Together"! Freaking 24 hours straight, in my sleep, all the next day, even when I tried distracting my brain with conversation, eating or watching tv. I loved the show when I was a kid, but the song plain sucks after hearing it more than a few times in a row!
I’ve had the same ear worm constantly for the past 3 1/2 months! Ugh!
How are you now ?
I got I'm never gonna give you up stuck in my head.
Blow a kiss, fire a gun, all we need is somebody lean on 🎶🎧
They haunt me. I prefer the tinnitus. Sometimes it's a whole day of creepy fast Happy Birthday.
This one song led me to never listen to music again but there are some that are worthy there's are songs that are allowed to earworm I do it to those because it's so relaxing
My worst song that have kept playing in my mind was “Stay Alive Reprise” from Hamilton.
It was the part when “Mom, I’m so sorry for forgetting what you taught me. My son. We played piano.”
I was so pissed off.
The box, Roddy Ricch, oh my gosh, that was one of my worst... oh my gosh, I started having nightmares and stuff and that opening eerrr eeerrr creaking noise was front and center! 😭😭😭
Two days straight ...Selena - I Could Fall in Love... EVEN WHILE I SLEEP OR TRY TO! Heard this song hundreds, maybe thousands of times over the last 25 years. Hadn't heard it in three years, PICKED UP THAT EARWORM FROM THE GROCERY STORE!!!
How are you doing now
I usually just roll with it and sing along for a while. I perform about 7 songs weekly, so my brain just cycles through music most of the time.
One more tip just read the lyrics of song along by listening same time so that you can get rid easy way
"Narwhals narwhals swimming the oceon causing them commotion cause they're so awsome"that song is stuck in my head
O god
So one night I was watching this video the next morning I woke up and I had tinnitus. I've still had it for about 5 months. Crazy coincidence :(
That happened to me for a while I cried the first time that happened cause it was so frustrating and annoying it went away after like a month or two. I hope it goes away for you too, I was never able to sleep because of it
jasmine chehreh did you do anything in particular to help you out? Mine is so weird, I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary and suddenly I have a ringing and buzzing in my ears :( I can sleep just fine but I wish it will go away!
Well the reason it happened to me is because i damaged it from excessively listening to loud music. I went to a doctor and the problem was i had allergies and my ears were congested so i couldn't hear the music as well but making it louder only damages them. Peoples ears are super sensitive and can damaged super easily. If the tinnitus has been going on for a while i would suggest going to see a doctor for treatment. I didn't do anything in particular to stop it i just dealt with it until it went away. I heard it particularly at night when i tried to sleep because it was silent. I just got used to it before it went away and I highly recommend getting it checked out. This only worked for me once but i looked up a method for people who get ringing in their ears: Cover your ears with your palms. Your fingers should be pointed back and resting on the back of your skull. Point your middle fingers toward each other at the very back of your skull.Rest your index fingers on top of your middle fingers.Using a snapping motion, flip your index fingers down off your middle fingers and onto the back of the skull. This motion will sound like the beating of drums. Because the fingers will also hit your skull, the noise may be quite loud. This is normal.Continue snapping your fingers onto the back of your skull 40 to 50 times. After 40 or 50 times, see if the ringing has subsided
jasmine chehreh thanks! I don't think mine is caused by the same thing. Not sure what set mine off. I notice that if I take a hot shower it goes away for a little bit but my ear always feels full. Hmmmm, a mystery!
Yeah it helped a bit when i slept in my sisters room because the fish tank noise blocked out the silence. Well anyway good luck
0:34 KHAAAAAAAAAAN! KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
i got an earworm from that scene
Khan... .put. .... something.....in .......our.......ears
When I wake up I know I'm gonna be the man who wakes up to you... Sunshine on Leith, grr@ Proclaimers
I mean a silver bullet and a gun could surely get that song out of my head, but my brain aswell.
One of the things mentioned is playing another song. Interestingly enough, my song of choice is the Walker Brothers’ “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Any More”. The strange thing is it replicates into ANOTHER earworm for THAT song, but for some reason I’m ok with that one (not really sure why).
