Earworm (Insanity)
"...Started singin' it, not knowing what it was..."
Infectious,
Insidious,
I think I'm going crazy,
Everything's seeming hazy,
You see,
This is not like me...
"And they'll continue singin' it forever just because..."
I am hooked,
It's got me spooked,
I'm surprised I've got the strength to think of anything but,
What
Is going on and on in my head,
And after I go to bed,
I will probably still dream of this endless loop,
'Round and 'round, like a hoop...
Yes, it doesn't end,
It never ends...
I've been known to get hooked on songs and listen to them repeatedly for an hour or two,
Occasionally interspersing with others after a while too,
But never listened to one song for a whole ten hours,
Can't...go...without...must...listen...ten...hours...
Five minutes...twenty...fifty...
One hour, two, five, ten, nifty!
I can't stop today, and surprisingly love it!
Today's the worst case of an earworm I've ever had, and I'm going crazy because of it!
Eventually it will end, and I will forget it...
...But until then, please don't help me....

LOL At first I thought the title was Earthworm .....
I'm not sure I have ever experienced such a thing, unless it is regarding a lack of closure due to a prematurely ended argument. Then my mind gets looped in frustration like a s record skipping where the outcome should be.
I suppose if it was the melody of a new poem I was writing, wouldn't be such a bad thing!

Is this song part Lamd Chops? This is the song that never ends.... it goes on and on my friends... and when you start to sing it it goes on a d on again....? Is that the one? That song is creepy in a way and yes there is no end. Especially if the melody take control of you subconscious mind.
