I used to work in an 8 track studio
but "song" means something with singing
A track is a part of a recording, surely?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

The Earworm Thread
One ear worm I've had the pleasure of having quite often recently is the fugue from BWV 997. I find it immensely exquisite, and will commence learning it on the guitar fairly soon, after (or probably before) I have BWV 1000 to a reasonable standard under my fingers (only the last page of which really needs much practice).
For me, Bach's music as arranged for guitar is just on another level compared with the great majority of guitar music out there...

Joseph, as there was an existing earworm thread I've merged the two threads, keeping your title, I hope that's OK. Apologies to Pabs for changing the title......

You're lucky to have such educated earworms, mine are usually extremely irritating jingles or pop songs which I've heard by accident. Why my brain hangs on to them.....as I think Pabs said originally, it needs research!

Originally posted by Richard Barrett View PostThere's a whole chapter about earworms in Oliver Sacks's excellent Musicophilia. Mind you I don't remember exactly what he says, I must reread that book some time soon. As I might have mentioned before, I have a technique for dealing with them when they get to be too annoying and can't be dislodged by other music, which is to tell myself that if the earworm doesn't go away I am going to incorporate it in whatever I happen to be writing at the moment. It almost always works. When it doesn't I am as good as my word.

If I get an earworm, I tend to whistle it in my off guard moments. If it is a something I’m a bit , or a lot embarrassed about ( Breakfast in America for example, ) I just have to hope that folks nearby, if there are any, wont recognise it, ( which they probably won’t with my whistling),or are Supertramp ( as per the example) fans.
Works really well, on its own terms.
Currently, and understandably, “ Three Lions “........
