Rough Draft

 " Ear Worm" Rough Draft

Everyone around the world has experienced the "ear worm", or as In germany, an "ear worm" is known as "ohrwurm". It's any random tune or jingle that gets stuck in your mind and you can't find a way to get rid of it! According to research by James Kellaris, 98% of individuals experience "ear worms". Women and men experience the phenomenon equally often, but "ear worms" are more likely to last longer for women and to irritate women more than they irritate men. I researched the top "ear worms" which the play list is called: 

"The Playlist from Hell"

• The "Baby Back Ribs" Chili's jingle
• Baha Men: "Who Let the Dogs Out?"
• Queen: "We Will Rock You"
• The "Give Me a Break" Kit-Kat jingle
• Lalo Schifrin: "Mission: Impossible Theme"
• The Village People: "YMCA"
• Tag Team: "Whoomp, There It Is"
• The Tokens: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"
• Richard Sherman: "It's a Small World"

These ear worms are frustrating, annoying, and even tormenting, but thanks to www.earwurm.com here are some possible resolutions that might be able to help get rid of these "ear worms":

• Cinnamon candy
  Supposedly the intense flavor seems to be distracting that part of your brain.
• Hear it out
  Find the song on YouTube or iTunes and listen to the complete song
• Mash it up
  Sing aloud as many "ear worms" as you can think of, without stopping. Your brain will get overwhelmed and the mishmash of tunes will cancel each other out and you'll be left in peace.
• Drink alcohol
  Not for minors.
• Play dead
  Do not resist the "ear worm". The more you try to get rid of an "ear worm", the more persistent it can become.
• Do math
  Count backwards from 100 (or another suitably large number) by 7s.
• Zzzz
  Get more sleep.

         Celibacy
         Avoid music altogether.
