My Shiny Teeth and Me

I love watching "The Fairly OddParents" especially after a long day at the office. Nothing like awesome cartoons for de-stressing. Anyway, in one of the episodes there's a song called "My Shiny Teeth and Me" sung by Chip Skylark, a singing celebrity in the cartoon. Just a while ago I looked for the song on YouTube to play out loud for my sisters to hear.

Last Song Syndrome

Every now and then a random song just pops into my head and gets stuck there for a while. Some call this the Last Song Syndrome or LSS.  If you Google this term you'll be able to find a Wikipedia entry on "earworm", which is a borrowed translation of the German word "ohrwurm" .

Ohrwurm means...

...a portion of a song or other music that repeats compulsively within one's mind, put colloquially as "music being stuck in one's head."

It's interesting because I've been using the term "LSS" since high school but I've never encountered the term "earworm" until writing this entry.
