    Gahhh!

    heard it on tv yesterday evening when I was half asleep and recognised it but didn’t know who it was by. Tried to cling on to a few lyrics but they’ve been forgotten. Now I’ve just got the tune going round my head – until I know who it’s by it’s not going away…

    Not much to go on. Post a YouTube video of yourself singing it and we’ll see if we can help.

    More clues – Might have been on x-files, or might have been on that film with Daniel Radcliffe – Horns.
    Sort of a rapid drums and piano building up tension then some guy singing some words and stuff…

    Post a YouTube video of yourself singing it and we’ll see if we can help.

    Yes I’ll make sure I definitely do that because no pisstaking can come from that at all..

    Wikipedia has this advice for curing oneself of the dreaded earworm…..

    Scientists at Western Washington University found that engaging the working memory in moderately difficult tasks (such as anagrams, Sudoku puzzles, or reading a novel) was an effective way of stopping earworms and of reducing their recurrence.[17][18] Another publication points out that melodic music has a tendency to demonstrate repeating rhythm which may lead to endless repetition, unless a climax can be achieved to break the cycle.

    You know what you need to do….

    (Bike Forum for advice on repairing your cycle… after you’ve broken it.)

    yep, I normally remember a few lyrics and can track it down but this time – nothing stuck.
    I’ve recorded a whistled version as an .mp3. I need to host it somewhere then I’ll put the link up.

    Bingo – what a song.
    prefer my whistle version but still, she does play a good tune on the piano.

    Thanks.
