Haven’t you ever gotten up one morning and had a tune stuck in your head, that you heard somewhere the day before, and couldn’t figure out how you could get rid of it? Your spirit is obsessed al day, especially when it’s a tune that you hate, like the last hit by…uhm…no, let’s not use that example.
Illness? Mental disorder? A pathological case? WorMee, being the kind and curious earthworm that he is, has looked into the question and eventually found an answer in Peter Szendy’s work, “Hits, Philosophy in the Jukebox” (Editions de Minuits publishing), which you’ll find in all good bookstores.
According to the author, 99% of people are, one day or another, subjected to this condition which is called, “the illness of the ear worm,” you can’t make that up! Tracing back from the German Ohrwurm, the “ear worm” indicates a “musical itching” of the brain, and even if it takes on the appearance of a kindly virus that attaches itself to the host and sustains itself by feeding off of the host’s musical memory, there is no reason to be alarmed…if only for the fact that you have to get used to the fact that a simple little tune which seems to have come from everywhere (or nowhere), accompanies your life, and creates an incomparable soundtrack, and goes together with the unique and singular character of each one of you…We’ll let you meditate on this subject! And if you’re asking yourself if an earthworm can suffer from an ear worm, don’t search hard for an answer, because it’s yes, and WorMee is the living proof of it!
