Earworms, and the origin for me.
By Ken Mulholland (Australia)
If you haven’t seen an “Earworm” on Facebook, watch for them! Ken Mulholland creates an Earworm every day – see his description below. Ken is the author of Varlarsaga ‘ the finest fiction work to ever be rejected by mainstream publishers. It is an epic, high fantasy trilogy in the mythical land of Varlar, a dangerous world primarily inhabited by elves .

Pretty well, every day, some musical lyrics fill my mind. Maybe because I have been a radio listener since I was two or three. (That’s a credit to my Mum.)
Even at my late age, I still have the lyrics running through my head.
(I do have a lot of other things running through my head as well Including the music of classics and ballet.)
So, I thought of the Earworm as a kind of thing I could do on Facebook, not as a competition or a quiz; but as some kind of reminder to people that music is universal and contagious. Also, it is an echo to remind us that that lyricists crafted the most amazing musical tunes…
Simply said…
Earworms: not a competition, but a window into the mind.
An ‘Earworm’ is an infectious melody with lyrics that pop into your head during the day or night, and keep repeating themselves:
“It might be a fight like you see on the screen. A swain getting slain for the love of a queen.
Some great Shakespearean scene where a ghost and a prince meet and everyone ends in mincemeat”
‘Earworms’ are everywhere when you have lyrics and music that just happen in your mind, like ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’.
Be sure that…
‘If you go down to the woods today,
You’re sure of a big surprise,
If you go down to the woods today,.
You better go in disguise!’
You will find them and me, on Facebook!
