...behind the Green Door.
Don't ask me how...
I don't know what they're doing...
...but somehow...
...but they laugh a lot...
...a song by Shakin' Stevens...
...behind the Green Door
...has got into my head...
Won't you tell me...
...and it won't leave.
...what's going on behind the Green Door?
HELP!

Dunno. What green door? Reckon Morinho/Ranieri are in for some club-swapping deal.

Suddenly, I'm feeling more than a little bit shakey...

I find that humming 'We Like to Party' by the Vengaboys will dislodge *any* earworm, and for some reason, WLtP does not then itself become an earworm

I love the term earworm for that song you can't get out of your head. My brother (the evil sod) used to come to breakfast whistling or humming 'Its a small world after all' in a conscious and usually successful effort to make it stick in my head for the day or more often the week.
Now that I have kids of my own, I often find that songs from Thomas the Tank Engine get trapped between my ears.

I've just two words to say to that:

Although it's a thoroughly irritating song, the chorus from "ABC, 123", (or whatever it's called), by the Jackson Five is so repetitive that your brain will get bored immediately. This leads in most cases to the brain completely forgetting everything it's doing, including the earworm.
In this way the song is an "anti-earworm", cancelling the original earworm out.
N.B. This is a risky tactic, as if the whole thing goes awry then you can have the aforementioned song stuck in your head (!), although this is very rare.

The only way to get rid of an earworm (apart from humming the Vengaboys) is to pass it on to someone else by humming it out loud

Damn you all. All this talk of earworms has landed me with the Postman Pat theme going round my head
