Of COMET collars and Earworms!

Introducing COMET e-collars - The Movie!

Not quite ready for Hollywood, but what do you think of the clip below for a first effort? Warning; Once you hear the accompanying music - you will be humming it all day - or like me - all week!








So - what do you think? And if the tune is sticking with you - then you are experiencing and Earworm. That's the official scientific title for a tune you can't get rid of. Here's what Wikipedia says about Earworms -
An earworm, sometimes known as a brainworm, sticky music, or stuck song syndrome, is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing. Phrases used to describe an earworm include "musical imagery repetition", "involuntary musical imagery", and "stuck song syndrome".
Now - the Urban Dictionary has a remedy of sorts - sort of. Here's what they say -
A song that sticks in your mind, and will not leave no matter how much you try. The best way to get rid of an earworm is to replace it with another. Be prepared to become a jukebox.
I heard on the radio this week that The Traveling Wilburys are being inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Fortunately, Medcare Products is located 10 minutes from the Rock Hall of Fame - and I'm sure that this induction will create a surge in COMET collar sales - right? Right! 

My new problem is that I can't get their song The End of the Line out of my head - and so I'm now hopelessly stuck in an epic Earworm conflict of epic proportions. 




End of the Line
Traveling Wilburys

Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, doing the best you can
Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring (end of the line)
Waiting for someone to tell you everything (end of the line)
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring (end of the line)
Maybe a diamond ring
Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well it's all right, everyday is judgment day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways (end of the line)
You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days (end of the line)
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays (end of the line)
Purple haze
Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive (end of the line)
I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive (end of the line)
It don't matter if you're by my side (end of the line)
I'm satisfied
Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey
Well it's all right, you still got something to say
Well it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive
Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Looks like I've done enough damage for today.
All the best,
Simon

All the Best,
Simon & The Gang
