The Jaws melody is arguably one of the most memorable pieces of music in Hollywood history. For a woman, the familiar melody causes intense fear and she cries as she listens to it.
The iconic subject of the 1975 thriller The Shark is an integral part of Hollywood history and loved by many.
For a Kentish woman, however, creepy music is a nightmare, making her fall apart every time she listens to it.
Lenny has suffered from this severe phobia since he was 12.
On Monday, June 6, she called This Morning to speak with therapists Nik and Eva Speakman during the phobia segment of the ITV show.
She said: “When I was 12 I was watching Jaws with my parents and I ended up having severe stomach pains, they told me to go upstairs and go to bed.
“Since then, I’ve had the worst phobia of the theme song.”
He added: “I actually woke up in the hospital, they were having surgery, I ended up having appendicitis that night, I woke up in the hospital and thought I was dead.”
Lenny said he woke up in the hospital screaming and has had a “bad” phobia about the theme song ever since.
Lenny’s phobia makes her scream and cry every time she hears the song, but she revealed that she loves sharks and would swim with them.
Nik said, “Well, most of the people we work with who have a phobia of sharks have just seen Jaws.
“What’s interesting about her is the fact that she’s just themed music.”
He continued: “What I want you to consider is that when you had that stomach ache you felt bad, so you felt vulnerable and then your parents told you to go up the stairs and lie down.
“You don’t really watch the movie. So you don’t blame the shark and you don’t have a shark phobia, but I bet you can still hear the music when you’re in your room.
Nik told Lenny that music can be very emotional for people and bring back different memories.
He suggested that she try to think of music in a different light and see it as something that really helped her save her life.
“What this song means to you is to feel absolute pain, put your parents down and say, ‘Listen, I need help with this,'” Nik said.
He added: “Your parents thought ‘something is going on here’, they took you to the hospital and you recovered.
“For me, I think that song was a good thing, because it helped you improve.”
Lenny said he would have to listen to the music again to see if he felt better after Nik’s advice.
Phillip Schofield suggested playing the song live and Lenny ended up laughing instead of his usual nervous breakdowns.
This morning airs Monday to Friday at 10am on ITV
