I like listening to music
Both recorded and live
Playlists are so cool
You can pick one to suit your mood
Some mellow jazz in the morning
Lively pop in the day
Rock n roll your afternoon away
A few golden oldies before bedtime
There is however one big problem
When I stop listening to music
There is always a song still playing
On a constant loop in my head
Its not always the same song
Usually something I listened to recently
These earworms can be annoying
I find the only cure
Is to play some different music
To drown them out
Peace at last
Until the music source stops
Then the mystery DJ in my head
Selects another song to play
He never consults me
Nor does he listen to my suggestions
His most recent earworm song
Is playing in my head right now
Lovely Day by Bill Withers
I used to like that song
But now I am totally done with it
Time to consult Mr Spotify
Drown out Bill Withers for good
While the DJ in my head listens along
And unilaterally selects a future earworm
I have tried researching for a cure
As yet there is no earworm powder treatment on the market
But the earworm is not the source of the problem
Its that mystery DJ in my head
I am going to sneak up on him
While he is distracted listening to my music
And smash his turntable
Then every day will certainly be A Lovely Day
