A Community of Worms is a safe space for those of us afflicted by earworms.
Share with a supportive community the songs, lyrical bits, jingles and commercials that swim laps in your brain and never seem to drown.
Write in the comments below your earworms for the week and feel the balm of communal empathy!
Release the earworms here and they will be forever gone! Post links below your song if you like!
I’ll start it off:
Here is one earworm for me this week that was persistent and persnickety, but didn’t make the weekly newsletter. Who here remembers this song from 1986?
I remember that song, at first I thought it was ok, then stations would totally overplay it. I definitely had a "Cow" then.
Lately this song from the 90's has occupied my brain, "Get Here", by Oleta Adams. It's actually a really good, sentimental song, and fits the mood I've been in, as my daughter is getting ready to start college in another state, which is also a time when she would be living away from home for the first time. i think about the distance we drove her to get to her college and move in, and I think about the same drive I'll need to do, by myself, with plenty of time for earworms and other thoughts. At some point, with life changes and the like, I guess we all need to somehow "moo-ve" on (keeping with COW). ;)
Yeah, the kids leaving the nest time of life surely is one that can summon a slither of earworms. I just decided that "slither" is the best word to describe a bunch of worms. And I knew you'd have a good pun to use for the COW acronym!
Like the longer earworm posts, the COW (Community of Worms...A happy acronym accident!) will also be weekly. Should the catch phrase for this segment of the Substack be called “Have a COW!”?
