Ever since the news of Michael Jackson’s death, my brain won’t stop humming his songs.
The news—and his music—are everywhere. I’m a huge Michael Jackson fan, and I’m devouring the musical tributes on cable. But enough is enough already.
My sister says the same thing is happening to her. Some nights, it’s so bad she can’t fall asleep. In my own brain, the annoying “ABC” keeps trying to drown out “Rock with You,” my favorite Michael Jackson song.
I know we’re not alone. So how about turning it into a publicity opportunity?
This is a perfect time for psychologists, sleep experts, music teachers and even musicians and band members to offer some tips on how get certain songs out of our heads.
Pitch the story to morning drive-time deejays. It would make a fun call-in topic. I remember listening to several shows like this in which callers were encouraged to name the WORST song they’ve ever heard—you know, the one that just won’t stop playing inside their heads. These shows are hysterical. See How to Get onto Drive-Time Radio Shows.
What’s the worst song you’ve ever heard, the one that makes you crazy?

Same thing with me… I wonder if its just because they are on TV all the time or is there some other phenomena going on.

What is always stuck in my head is the Barney Song which I think can be an earworm for anyone.
“I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family, with a great big hug and a kiss from you to me, won’t you say you love me too.
Believe me if you watch the video and humm the song it could work anywhere. Thanks for the question.

The story that most fascinates me is that he will earn more money in death than he ever could have anticipated in life. His family and/or executors will reap huge dividends in the coming years.
Just my $0.02
