I can't listen to music at work (I sit right behind the circulation desk). So I will have to go home and dig out both the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkle to go with my latest earworm (the technical term for that song stuck in your head) which is "Tapestry" by Carole King (I'm using the lyrics as inspiration for my handfasting vow.)

My theory is that the only way to get rid of a song that is firmly in place is to pass that song onto someone <em>else</em>. Of course, a friend of mine had a theory of his own. He thought that if you got a song stuck in your head, you could whistle the theme from "The Andy Griffith Show" to dislodge it without leaving that song in its place.
