Earworm

Earworm

Look at this situation: You listen to a song or a piece of music on the radio or on TV or anywhere else. One hour after listening to the song, you can still hear it. The next day, the same song keeps playing in your mind; the day after, the same thing. You keep hearing the song play in your mind over and over and over. Don’t run off to the doctor’s; there’s nothing wrong with you. You just have an earworm.

An earworm is a song or piece of music that continues to play in your mind long after you first heard it.

For some people, music from Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber or Madonna are earworms.

‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ Lyrics

It’s . . .

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle
um diddle ay! (etc.)

Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad
Me father gave me nose a tweak, told me I was bad
But then one day I learned a word that saved me achin’ nose
The biggest word you ever heard and this is how it goes: Oh!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle
um diddle ay! (etc.)

He traveled all around the world, and everywhere he went
He’d use his word and all would say “There goes a clever gent”
When dukes and maharajas pass the time of day with me
I say me special word and then they ask me out to tea

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you’ll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle
um diddle ay! (etc.)

So when the cat had got your tongue there’s no need to dismay
Just summon up this word and then you’ve got a lot to say
But better say it carefully or it could change your life . . .
She’s………
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
