Damned Earworms...

I read an article on NPR Online which was about songs that get stuck in your head. The article called them earworms. The name has stuck in my mind like - well, like an earworm.

Yesterday an earworm infested my brain. I saw a trailer for the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked. The trailer featured soundbytes from the Chipettes performing a song. These soundbytes stuck in my head, and I wondered if, perhaps, there was such a thing as earwormlets...

I finally had to satisfy my curiosity (and attempt to purge this earworm) and Googled the movie's soundtrack. I discovered - among others - one on the Amazon listing for the song called Bad Romance. I Googled "Bad Romance". I ALSO found that Lady Gag-um, Ga-Ga performed it first. I watched THAT video. I was not impressed. So I went back to the Chipettes Version. I found myself humming, then singing, with it, smiling in amusement. I soon discovered that this wasn't necessarily a good thing - it was still stuck. I clicked on their version of "Hot 'n Cold" (a Katie Perry tune). Again, i was more impressed by the Chipmunk version than the original.

I just told Reeka I need to get the 3 movies...

If you're curious and know nothing of these things of which I speak, I'll post the Chipettes' version.



Rock on!Rock on!
