Music - The Ear Worm Poem by Paul Warren

Music - The Ear Worm



It was a catchy song
That was made for boppin' along
The melody didn't matter
With the chorus no more than chatter
But once I heard it on the radio station
I can't get rid of it from its oration
When you get it in your head
The ear worm repeats until you wish you were dead

When you get a song that continues to repeat in your head.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Kelly Kurt 04 October 2015

Psychologists would explain it one way (I will not go into that now) But musicians and producers call it a Hook and it does what it is intended to do. I am currently writing some lyrics for an up and coming local band and have to eschew my poetic sensibilities and employ a more commercial angle to get their songs Stuck in your head. Wonderful poem, Paul
