'nother UPDATE
Tomorrow is 6 weeks since my last day at Big Green Cab Co. I'm still driving a Yeller Cab, and (somewhat obviously) not dispatching.
I've decided that unless something radical happens, I'm not going to dispatch. I'm very unimpressed with many of the internals of this company. (But at lease they're up front with their BS, unlike Big Green.)
I'll stick with this for a while, unless something better comes up. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but cab driving is the only job I've ever had that I truly enjoy... although the last few years at Big Green Cab Co have kind of worn that a bit.
In the meantime, I'm still trying to recover from that last week at Big Green, when I made essentially zero dollars. Sigh. At least that's a short-term problem.Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you speak with the Fraud department. -- CrazedClerkthe2nd

Am I the only one who gets "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" as an earworm as a result of this thread's title?"Crazy may always be open for business, but on the full moon, it has buy one get one free specials." - WishfulSpirit

Quoth Seanette View PostSorry, forgot how contagious earworms are.

I've found that some earworms can be displaced. By stuff like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmGFCWuLgTs“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

Quoth Mental_Mouse View PostBasically, your brain is trying to "fetch" the full song from the "memorable" part, and once you've gone through the whole thing it will let go of that.
Then that earworm is replaced by another.

Quoth Mental_Mouse View PostHmm. Maybe if you read the lyrics too?
I read the lyrics and all the way through I thought "What does this mean?" It's like 20 lines of non sequitur and 20 lines of repeats. Anyway I got it out of my head. I remember liking it at the time but that's 34 years ago and I've grown up since then.

For absolute "WTF?" music you should see the lyrics to anything by the band Fair to Midland. Theirbiggestonly hit, "Dance of the Manatee", is a prime example:
Take a little dive into the shallow or spy what do you see
I see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race
And it fits like a glove under my sleeve
