This was stuck in my head recently, a modern re-make of an old Doo-Wop classic. I think they sampled a bit of the lead vocal from the original recording in it.

Does anyone recall a weird, now obscure song D.O.A. from the 1970's by Bloodrock...strange music background sounding like a two-tone siren.

"Laying here looking at the ceiling
Someone lays a sheet across my chest"

....

"I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air"

....

I remember being in the family car at the end of the driveway, parent getting ready to turn onto the street, and that song came on the radio. I remember the announcer saying that that would be the one and only time that they broadcast that song, they were banning it from their station.

I just listened to that song and I can think of two reasons why they would only play it once:
1) It's eight minutes long.
2) It has the sound of a real siren at 3:07. The FCC has received complaints about the use of siren sounds over the radio as it coudd cause a driver to slam on the brakes and cause an accident. While they didn't outright ban the practice, they essentially told the radio industry "Ok, you can still do this, but you must use common sense."

There was a 1970s song (and an earworm) called "Indiana Wants Me." The repeated use of sirens in that song caused complaints to the FCC. As a result, the record producer released another version without the sirens for radio use.

No, that wasn't the reasons. It was because the song lyrics were so morbid. Drive time stations want to pep folks up for the day, not make them depressed and suicidal-like.

I can see that. It is pretty morbid.

Today I was listening to XM Radio and they played one of the biggest earworms of all time - Careless Whisper. It came out in the mid 80s and it's STILL everywhere. I swear, if I hear that stupid sax riff again one more time I think my head will explode.

Oh yeah, that tune has been horribly overplayed.

When I was a kid, someone told me how to take of those ear worms by singing a couple of lines from a song I liked. I chose "Hound dog". I just kept repeating "you ain't nuttin but a hound dog, crying all the time" ...repeat, repeat and the ear worm would be erased.

I've been using that same line for 50yrs now. It still seems to work.

I love that song! Sorry it bothers you.
