I don't know the words to the *GAH* theme (never watched the show), and
I have no desire to learn them now just to serve as a cure for earworms.
And I refuse to damage my neurons by summoning up the words to "It's A
Small World" and the hellish memories that come with it of my
six-year-old sister singing the song nonstop on the car ride back to
Syracuse from Florida when I was a kid. Unless curing earworms = emesis,
this is not the song to which you want to turn to get some other song
out of your head.
I hereby proffer yet again the earworm cure that Kelly Cronin submitted
to Audities several years ago: "It's A Grand Old Flag" (sung aloud, not
just recited in your head). Try it. It works wonders.
