[hrama803]

My phone died at SoWo. My sister found a old Razr at her house. This was the Ringtone. Its now stuck in my head. FML

I've refraind from opening this thread for fear of getting an earworm but judging from the last couple of pages that won't be a problem, I don't regnize most of these songs anyway.

i am going to post the line of my current earworm that is most likely to be going through my head the past few days. yes It's a wierd one.

"Suddenly ahead of me, across the countryside
A gleaming alloy aircar shoots towards me two lanes wide..."

mostly it's just the guitar that won't stop.

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but I was getting ready for work this morning and all of the sudden, le wild song appears in my brain. This was the only clip I could find of it.

[MAC]

Went through a week of this being stuck in my head back in the winter and then I heard some chick rockin out to it at a red light this morning. Another week i guess... Good track though. I love Q tip.

I like Max Raabe's version better (also check on some other Max Raabe songs and interpretations :

[feels_road]

So, since she appeared on Fresh Air with Terry Gross a short while back, I cannot get Carole King songs out of my head -- especially these two:





What a phenomenal songwriter!

Carole King is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She has written or co-written 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100.

Re: Phantom of the Opera:

There are about 4-5 catchy tunes in Les Mis that appear out of nowhere in my ears and won't leave for days.

This version has been stuck in my head for a few days now:
[Apocalyptica]

This is the Apocalyptica one I would put as "earworm" worthy (orig. Rammstein; here with Nina Hagen):

[feels_road]

Not to dominate the thread - but I have a couple more (I am rather haunted by earworms...not my fault!). Here's a classic - try getting this one out of your ear!

[under the radar]

this remix specifically, i love the filters.

[feels_road]

Finally, of course Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) is a master of catchy tunes in fine arrangements. I won't even mention It's Raining Again, Dreamer, or Breakfast in America (oops - I just did ) - here are two others that frequently torment my ears:

Yeah, about 80% of the responses in this thread I don't really get - they are no earworms to me, never could be, and don't satisfy my definition of one --- even though my taste in music is very eclectic.

To me, an earworm truly is one if it:

• has a catchy, yet rather challenging (so as to be slightly unusual and interesting) tune/melody (think Eleanor Rigby);
  
• is not too repetitive, and balances more complicated layers with a somewhat simpler refrain/chorus -- many great songs have a double or very long chorus (see, e.g.: Adele);
  
• has a memorable, significant beat to it (see, e.g., Tom's Diner or any Carole King song);
  
• has great instrumental additions (if it is not a Capella) that are often emphasized during the breathing pauses or between the verses (see Supertramp);
  
• if great, the more important instrumentals play back in my mind same as the lead melody (notice that in the second example I posted above, Carole King is doing the same thing: she is singing part of the guitar sound).

OK then, before I post the other three Roger Hodgson earworms I mentioned above, here are two Adele songs haunting my ears, at times:

[feels_road]

And here a 40+ year anniversary of (the unfortunate death of) a great singer still haunting my ears:

[nemo1ner]

One of our clients are Red Lobster chains in the state. So anytime one of my coworkers talk about Red Lobster, I start singing the song. They have learned to speak of Red Lobster in secret and away from me.

Haha, your earworm is about to become mine. Actually a lot of yours are Maybe it will get this out of my head-

Special thanks going out to Barold It's Never Too Early for GFunk V. Thank god it's Friday.

I'm confused as to why ( being that I'm a hetro non Mexican) that this song is stuck in my head. Probably because some of my slightly older friends were talking about the day the Charming Man came to town.
