So there is this crazy thing that happens when I work on a big project. It always arrives with a song. Not like an existing song that I think of or listen to while I'm writing. No, I mean a theme song. The original How to Succeed in Evil theme song was this -- played by me on a cheap keyboard.
I'm involved with a 30 minute monthly astronomy show, and we've got a new theme. I've just discovered what i don't like about it. It's an ear worm. That's because it's a super simple melody, and not too much else. Your tune sounds maybe vaguely Spanish, but while one might imagine a singer with lyrics, it wouldn't have a melody doubled by the instrument(s). When i have an ear worm stuck in my head, it's generally because i don't know all of the words. Where does that leave you if your ear worm doesn't have any words? What i do is replace it with an ear worm i know. I do that by bringing it up, and going through at least a verse - if not the entire piece. Once i'm done with that, both ear worms are gone. Gone gone. My go-to ear worm for this is "Three Hour Tour" - the Giligan's Island theme. Sorry if you have to look it up and memorize a verse or the entire piece. Three Hour Tour does that to people with just the title. With great power comes great responsibility. Oh wait, that's another ear worm.
Your mind has fascinating schema, meant in the Jungian sense - let yourself shine
