Worst earworm? (song stuck in your head)
Obviously, whatever you've got stuck in your head at the moment is the worst if you don't like it. I've got "Copacabana" and I have to think it's a contender. Whatchasay?

4. "I My Me Mine" by Polysics has got to be the worst earworm I know...
The opening riff is EXACTLY what I imagine an actual
"Earworm Chorus" would sound like, if there was such a thing.

Once heard, it can never be UNheard, so check it out at your own risk:

11. I thank my rapidly advancing age. A few years ago, you could have made me
go lie down in traffic by mentioning this song. Now, mercifully, its effects have faded (though I still hate it like poison).

8. "She Blinded Me With Science" and "Come On Eileen"
both really stick out to me right now. I liked both songs, but sometimes I cannot get them out of my head.

10. Oh jesus; can't argue with you there
When I was 17, I went on a summer study tour of France and managed to miss this one almost completely. One-hit-wonder-earworm Fate would have her revenge on me though when I did my junior year abroad in Canterbury a few years later. "Come On Eileen" was a hit in Britain the whole year, or so it seems now, and when I went home, it followed me. Arrrrrgh!
