Morning Meltdown: TuNesDay Earworms

Hey, Waters here from the Waters Wake Up Call.

This morning, Tuesday, our topic was the earworms.

One of the

earworms that I get stuck with, it actually was a song in the 60s.

Yeah.

I believe it was done by the champs called Tequila.

And

it got adapted by Pee Wee Irmin.

Yeah, doing his Pee Wee dance on the table.

Yeah, and that song will get stuck in my dun dun dun dun dun dun dun

dun.

Yeah.

I still think it's a great tune, you know?

It's just all of that.

And then, tequila.

That's all you need to say when you're talking about tequila is tequila.

Well, if you're

drinking enough of it, that's all you can say.

That's exactly right.

In fact, you can't even say it properly.

For something like that, something around that, you know, I'd have to drink like 10 shots to really do the good imitation.

But sober, that's about as good as I could

do.

Got a rough jig to it.

That's right, because it's tequila.

If

you ever get this in your head, there was a commercial.

I'm stuck on Band-Aid brand.

Oh.

Band-Aid stuck on me.

I am stuck on Band-Aid brand, because Band-Aid's stuck on me.

Yep.

Yep.

Speaking of commercials, give me a break.

Give me a break.

Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.

I'm glad you brought up commercials, because I know that's a biggie.

Yeah.

Morning, Mr. Mike.

Good morning, D-Man.

How are you?

Uh, suffering.

Cold?

No.

Vikings?

No.

What is it, Dan?

I know you're a Vikings fan.

I know it's cold outside.

What else could it be?

He asked, setting him up.

I got this song by Cher in my mind.

Gypsy's Tramps and Thieves.

Nope.

Uh, you believe in life after love after love after love.

Nope.

Turn back time.

Oh, of course.

What can you do for me?

First of all, do you have any gum?

Yeah, I do.

Chew the gum?

OK.

That's the first part.

What flavor does it have to be?

It doesn't matter, as long as it's chewy.

OK.

If it's chewy gum, you're on the right track.

All right.

Chewing gum and listening to the song will get it out of your head.

And a lot of people ask, well, I heard it, and that's how it got in my head in the first place.

It's kind of like that trope of somebody

being knocked in the head and having amnesia.

Oh.

Yeah.

You knock them on the head again and the amnesia is gone.

They remember everything.

It's like earworms and hearing the song.

You hit yourself in the head or the ears with the earworm again and it should drive it out.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

So you should.

I'm starting to feel better.

Yeah.

You should be cured.

You should be cured.

Now let's not even think about turning back time because if we did then you'd have that song still in your head.

And the

Vikings

would.

they would have eventually anyway if we turn back time and now it's just over and done and we can move on so that's that's probably what we need to do

well I get to see dad today he's gonna be driving me somewhere and he's a bear's fan

so I'm not gonna hear

the end of it

if you need some backup I'll ride along with you and we can uh we can double team him all right all right well we'll do our best thank you D-man rock on brother

in the sky blue one now that's an earworm for me thanks a lot

for you man yes more when I got done working out I went upstairs my wife had GMA on and all they were singing was let it go let it

go let it

go oh frickin day all I could see was let it go

yeah

and then I watched your your team and I rooted like crazy I cannot believe that game how it went it's just

Crazy how they learn how to lose.

I know, they were ahead and then last few seconds, boom, field goal we lost.

Yes, oh

my gosh, that's, ay, ay,

ay, ay,

ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,

ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,

ay, ay,

ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay,

ay,

Oh, yeah, that's every parent's nightmare to go to Disney and have your kids go, well, let's go into a small world.

You hear it over and over for, I don't know how long it is, like three, four hours, I think is what it seems like.

It does, and it stays in your head.

You fall sweet to it.

You wake up to it.

Yep.

And it is absolutely terrible.

It's a small world, but it's a big problem.

Indeed.

Indeed it is.

Hey, holla-

I'm sure you've had this same problem with this freaking song.

My name is Michael and I've got a nickel and oh You go insane man.

My name is Michael and I know how to make a fist if you sing that earworm to me one more time I

hate it.

I'll go to bed at night.

There ain't no songs in my brain, but I'm like where the hell did that come from?

Yeah, you're thinking about the next day and maybe planning in your head or something And listening to the song gets it out of your head and chewing gum is another way

Yes,

you chew gum and I'll play a little of the

song

Okay, hold on.

That's just wrong.

Must grant Susie, must grant

Sam.

You know, Trucker Todd, I will never, ever play that song again.

It's stuck in my head.

Well, you did it to yourself, Trucker Todd.

It was a previous tunes day.

I believe that that happened.

I think it was guilty pleasure, so it's all your fault.

It's kind of my fault, but it's mainly your fault, Trucker Todd.

Well, when I heard what the theme was this morning, I'm sitting here

thinking.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

You're not a muskrat, Trucker Todd.

You're just a straight-out rat.

You

The

dog isn't going to want to go out today, though.

He'll be too cold to even say woof woof woof.

That's right.

Who's going to let the dogs in?

Woof woof woof.

Is there any other part to that song?

I have no idea.

That's what's annoying about earworms.

That's the only part you know, so it's just that little thing going over and over and over in your

brain.

No, leave

me alone.

Yeah, somebody put those dogs down.

Weekday mornings 5.30 to

10.
