I love listening to music, but honestly it’s more likely for me to get ear worms stuck in my head now that I’m older than 30. So here’s a list of songs in my life that I either have to ban or just not listen to on 30x repeat. They’ve been categorized...

It’s not so bad.

This is such a sweet song, used by Cathy Zielske on her weekly livestreams, as the countdown music. But there was a point where I’ll be standing around, washing dishes or some other inane chore, and it pops in my head. This is the only song I’ve hear...

I like 98°, and even became a fan of theirs before I ever loved *NSYNC, but after Backstreet Boys. Not my point. Anyways, I heard this song about 40 times (exaggeration maybe?) while my dad and I were on a trip to Ohio, for what I think was his first...

This one got stuck in my head for about 2 months, back when I was in high school. I wasn’t a country fan at the time, but it was on MTV a lot. You know, the days where they still actually played music. Why isn’t that a thing anymore? It was really ju...

Thanks, Tom Green. It’s so dumb, but I can’t hate it.

I liked the song for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately for me, I used to spend a lot of time with my neighbor in her car. She’s significantly older than me, and loves Top 40 stuff. She didn’t understand that I can’t just listen to certain things on basi...

Again, another song I liked for 5 minutes. Ruined forever after a year of my older neighbor turning it up every time I was in her car. I once told her how much pain it put me in, and she turned it up louder again and declared “I could listen to this ...

Another one courtesy of my older neighbor. Mild discomfort, maybe 2-3 nights and not months. But it’s still banned.

Anyone else a fan of Mr. Belvedere? I loved this show, and a couple years ago I caught a few episodes on one of those nostalgia tv channels, like MeTV. But then the theme song got stuck in my head for a few days.

Kind of surprised Alan Thicke didn’t write this one. Or maybe he did.

Another Alan Thicke bit of gold. I don’t think I’ve heard the original theme song with Charlotte Rae.
