Is it this guy?

I was recently forced to watch a movie called "The Death of Dick Long" and the viewer finds out (midway thru the movie) that is the exact cause of his death. Takes Place in Alabama

Well, I mean it could be worse. Some music lovers develop "Tom Jones Syndrome".
I suffer from it.
When I was diagnosed, I told the specialist that I'd never heard of it before... and I asked if it were a rare condition.
The doctor turned towards me, took off her spectacles and intoned:

Told this joke to g/f and now she has a serious case of 'earwig' of that Tom Jones song.
We used to call it the "BradyBunch Syndrome" but TomJonesSyndrome is perfect! ty

Earwigs/Earworms are easy to thwart.

You know how they put out oil well fires with explosives? Fight fire with fire.
This is the nuclear solution, but it's tried and true. This'll displace any pesky earworm posthaste.

She/you have my sympathy.

I'll resist the temptation to pollute the "Dune 2021" thread (now playing at a subforum near you!)... and I'll pollute this one instead.

"Fire" ants must be like earwigs/worms/warts for easy thwarting.
I've heard fire ants cause in excess of billions of dollars in farm equipment damage (ant mounts).
A Texan farmer once gave me the same (fighting) advice as you >> You pick a shovel full of fire ants from one mount and dump it on the next.

Problem solved! ?Genocide?​

And: NO! I am not playing that trickster link you provided, as I hope I never have to get (or mention) TJ name again in my life!

Soooo, you want a so called 'earworm' eh? I give you 'fish heads'. Do *not* play this before sleepytime My sincere apologies. I think.

And now for something completely different…

The physics of ducklings - Journal of Fluid Mechanics

It has been commonly observed on open waters that ducklings follow their mothers in a highly organized formation. The questions arise: Why are they swimming in formation? What is the best swimming formation? How much energy can be preserved by each individual in formation swimming?

Using computer simulations of waterfowl waves, naval architect Zhiming Yuan of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, and colleagues found that when a duckling swims on its own, it kicks up waves in its wake, using up some energy that would otherwise send it surging ahead. That wave drag resists the duckling’s motion. But ducklings in the sweet spot experience 158% less wave drag than when swimming alone, the researchers calculated, meaning the duckling gets a push instead.

Well, yes. Tour de France peleton training include reading this famous book inspired by ducks. And, no, you can't get down off a bike.
