Ohrwurm

"Ohrwurm" is one of those German words that expresses a human condition in a way that English doesn't quite capture--like "Schadenfreude."

Below is the latest song obsession of Miss India Jane.  I don't remember where we first came across it, but now I cannot get it out of my head.  And I reeeeeeeeally want to!!!!   HELP!

We love Ohrworms at our house! My 5 yr old loves "Hasenparty" and "Hoerst du die Regenwurmer housten" (ignore my bad spelling).

Yeah, I also think the scariest part is the gummi bear crack - why can't gummi bears wear pants that fit?

Put on your ipod STAT!
and sing your favorite song at the top of your lungs.
You must flush out that earworm.

There is also something very disturbing about a green gummi bear in yellow underpants grabbing his crotch. The more I picture it the more I come to realize that I may never be able to eat gummi bears again.

Yup. Theo loves that one, too.

I will NEVER show this to my children. Watching it once was too much, and that sick song is already playing in my head! (I know, I know, I was duly warned...) I shouldn't have watched it so close to bedtime, as I will probably have nightmares about those gummy bear butt cheeks.
