Beware The Earworm

Don't mind me, I'm just the earworm

Setting up home inside your eardrum

Infecting you with a catchy song

Don't worry, though, it won't be long

Until everyone is stuck just the same

Until everyone is saying my name

*

Don't mind me, I'm just the earworm

Making you tap your toes and hum

The only remedy is to pass me on

Replace me, though, and I'll be gone

Until a new earworm comes along

Until a new earworm comes on strong

*

Infiltrating into your auditory cortex

The vicious loop like a violent vortex

A cognitive itch, ironic process theory

Repetitively replaying until your weary

Don't mind me, I'm just the earworm

Setting up home inside your eardrum
