making up tunes in the afternoon
I can’t work out where this came from, but all afternoon I’ve been singing a little rhyme that I managed to think up and is now solidly stuck in my head.
A is for apple
B is for bear
C is for cucumber
D is for dare
Trust me, after repeating this 194366 times, it becomes far less cute, and a lot more annoying. I need another song. Help!
Karin Taylor
lol… it’s still cute :)

You just wait until you can’t remember what day it is because you’ve been humming to to yourself since lunchtime!
John McNair

It could be a meme from your childhood.

Now that’s an interesting theory. There was certainly a lot of singing and music in our childhood.
Karen Cougan

Ah, yes, a splendid distraction that one is.

Hey Jo, everybody knows that C is for Cookie

replied
While this is a genius choice to get me singing something else, you do realise you have put me onto an equally brain numbing repetitive tune? :)

E is for evening
F is for foam
G is for gargle
H is for home…..go there, and have a little rest.

Everyone knows to get rid of a tune (from the brain) you must sing the Adams Family Theme Song….. :-)

Excellent-i’ll trawl the web, looking for suitable ditties fir the purpose of giving kiddies sleepless nights and their parents huge therapy bills…......

We should probably strike up an affiliate deal with a few therapist. The last page of each book can be an advertisement for Mum and Dad, and every 5th copy comes with a free set of ear plugs!
Sorina Williams
oh, Jo…happy to swap the tune in your hear with mine!! :)
Try this
overlapped with this
don’t hurt sick kids! don’t hurt sick kids!...

My 10-year-old walks around in our yard and hums “Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple. It was cute for the first 20 minutes. Then I had to ask him to stop trying to find different variations on the theme, as he was starting in his natural prepubescent falsetto, then getting deeper, then getting deeper still, then getting Higher!! (I was giggling as I tried to be firm with him, which never works) and finally I had to tell him to just, “Stop!! Before I need medication!!” He shrugged, in typical boy fashion, grinned like his mother, and sauntered away. Cheeky bastard. :P
And I was forced to come inside, yell “Blarg!!” to the best of my ability, and put “Deep Purple – Smoke on the Water” into Winamp and crank it up.
My son … squee’d. :|
I feel your pain and have no advice other than to somehow or other drown it out or accept it and buy your tickets to the Cat-Lady Looney Bin. Mine are still warm.

Well I’ve been working on a promo for a client & have spent all day singing “99 bottles of beer on the wall”...... it’s getting annoying.

If I get something stuck in my head, I sing Jingle-Bells to myself, then a song of my choice that I enjoy and know the whole way through (you have to sing it, even if it’s just in your head, start to finish), then back to Jingle-Bells. Tadaah! Song free.
....unless you get Jingle-Bells stuck… then you’re screwed.

I think you just have to substitute a different jingle to reboot your brain.
ps
But then you’ll have a new jingle to drive you insane.
