We've all been afflicted by this at some point in our lives...

Check this out! Scientists may have an answer if you ever had a song you just can't get out of your head! Getting a song stuck in your head can be annoying, and sometimes you find yourself singing along to it.  Just getting that one Christmas song stuck in your head can be just PURE HELL!  

According to The Harvard Gazette, studies have shown that 90 percent of people experience this phenomenon, and for about one-third of them, it’s annoying.

It’s known as an earworm, and it comes from a German word called "Ohrwurm" meaning a musical itch.

How To Get A Song Out Of Your Head...

There's a 40-second audio track called the Earworm Eraser, and listening to it can supposedly get songs UNSTUCK from your head. Here is how it works, it's a loop of changing tempos, time signatures, and musical styles, so it won't just become ANOTHER earworm to replace the one you're trying to get rid of.

The Earworm Eraser can be found right on YouTube and there is a video down below, and a lot of people in the comments say it worked for them.

My Take On This...

I know when entering a store, I hear Mariah Carey's song 'All I Want For Christmas Is You', especially around this time of year, and it seems like every store has that track playing.

Just getting back in my car (yes I drive), I'll find myself just singing along to it, and for the life of me, I can't believe I know the words.

It is one of those songs that is played so much, I guess it's hard to get out of your head. Hopefully, this Earworm Eraser works for you if you have this issue.

5 Muppet Christmas Movies That Will Fill You With Festive Joy

When it comes to holiday movies, nobody does it like the Muppets. These lovable creatures know how to throw Christmas spirit in your face with just the right mix of heart, humor, and complete insanity. They’ve got something for everyone… Comedy, heartfelt songs, and even moments that sneak up and make you go, “Damn, why am I crying over a talking frog?” Muppet Christmas movies are proof that the holidays don’t have to be perfect to be magical. They just have to be full of love, laughs, and maybe a turkey or two running for its life.

The Muppets have mastered the art of taking classic Christmas tales and putting their wild spin on them. And when they’re not reworking Charles Dickens or George Bailey’s life, they’re coming up with their own bonkers holiday stories that somehow still capture the true meaning of Christmas. It’s the kind of joyful chaos you want during the holidays, like when your family is fighting over the last slice of pie, but deep down, you know everyone’s having having a blast doing it. That's a Muppet Christmas movie.,

What makes Muppet Christmas movies stand out is they’ll cast Michael Caine as Scrooge and surround him with singing rats! Or they’ll make Kermit question his existence while Miss Piggy hilariously spirals. Don't we all? And then there’s the catchy tunes that you’ll hum all season long, even if you don’t want to admit it. You love it.

Whether it’s a cozy jug-band in a small town or Gonzo pretending he’s Charles Dickens, every Muppet Christmas movie has something special. Sure they’re silly, but they always remind me that Christmas isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up for the people (or Muppets) you love.

The 5 Best Muppet Christmas Movies:

The Muppet Christmas Carol

This is the Christmas classic. Gonzo as Charles Dickens? Genius. Michael Caine giving Oscar level acting surrounded by singing frogs and rats? Unmatched.

A Muppet Family Christmas

It’s like the Muppet version of a potluck. You’ve got Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock in one big holiday mashup. And yes, Miss Piggy arrives dramatically late, because she’s a star.

The Muppets’ Christmas: Letters to Santa

A heartfelt road trip to deliver lost letters to Santa. It’s sweet, it’s silly, and Pepe the Prawn steals the show with his one-liners. This one is special.

It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie

The Muppets go full It’s a Wonderful Life here, with Kermit wondering what life would be like if he’d never existed. Spoiler: Miss Piggy becomes a washed-up reality star. Iconic.

Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas

This one’s pure, old-school Jim Henson charm. Emmet Otter and his friends bring small-town sweetness and banjo vibes while chasing their dreams. It’s about family, music, and holiday spirit, wrapped up in a jug-band jam session.
