How about "It's a Small World"(Disney) or "Tie Me Kangaroo Down"??? Or "Does Your Chewing Gum"?? Crazy songs!
Coming to you from the small town of Twin Peaks...

The song that doesn't end from Lambchop's Playalong comes to mind. Just the kind of song you never want to have stuck in your head. I think is one song that's been written to screw with people.
I'm tempted to mention polkas... 
Actually, not a lot of people know this: There is only one polka. It was recorded in 1947 and lasted 9 hours. Ever since then, radio stations in Minnesota have been playing three- or four-minute bits of that same polka. Some even have the whole thing on an endless loop and only interrupt it to give hog prices.

John Cage's 4' 33".
You know one half of Barnes & Barnes was Bill Mumy. One more thing we can blame him for 
Ever hear this version? Bob the Builder was a kids' TV show here and this was his second foray into the charts.
I've had most of Green Day's American Idiot stuck in my head recently but that's probably because I was in an amateur production of it last month.
However, this song crops up as an earworm so often for me, probably because it appeared in one of my favourite TV shows.
I played some Donkey Kong Jr. on MAME for the first time in ages and was sitting there at work with da du dumph da du dumph going through my head all day.
It's not stupid. I actually love it, but I've had "The Beautiful Blue Danube" by Johann Straus stuck in my head, non-stop, for over a week to the point that I've been whispering it and now I feel like I've just completed a vigorous ab exercise routine.
It might have something to do with not getting a solid hour of sleep in nearly a month (I was in bed for about 22 hours the other day, but I kept waking up at least once an hour, and yes, when I woke up, "The Blue Danube" was playing in my head.).
I've tried getting it out with TWOK music, and even my old earworm destroyer, "The March of the Ewoks" by John Williams.
Nothing is freaking working.

That reminds me: Eminem. Rap was never my thing, don't have much of an ear for it...but anytime I got exposed to an Eminem song via my ex, it would be stuck in my head for days.
One of my colleagues at work is getting close to retirement age but the other day I heard him quietly humming Emimem's 'Without Me'. He explained he'd been watching Suicide Squad and it got stuck in his head.
Yesterday, he was humming 'Seven Nation Army'. I told him I was impressed with his taste in music.
YES! That's the one I specifically remember as being the biggest ear worm!
In this region, that's known as the Bird Dance, and the best-known version is by The Emeralds. They play it so it gets increasingly faster with each successive chorus.
If you don't enjoy this song, you're not doing it right. You need the Doctor Who version:
Thanks a lot.
This was a standard one used by Western line dance groups.
There's nothing wrong with polkas. The Bird Dance mentioned previously is a polka. So is Una Paloma Blanca, which is one of the songs I enjoy listening to occasionally (in the video I'm thinking of, the group performing it is George Baker Selection - I like the recorder music).I'm tempted to mention polkas...
I'd guess most people on this forum grew up with some sort of rock music (or whatever it's called these days). I grew up on country/western, waltzes & polkas, and the Irish Rovers.
Yeah, there's actually some very good polka out there if one gives it a chance. I think polka's maligned. A few years ago, I attended a folk music festival and this large band came out onto the stage and commanded the crowd with its music, and they ended up being one of the most popular acts ever at this particular festival. They were treated like rockstars. Lead singer looks a bit like Ragnar from Vikings
