• Jack Off Jill's Star No Star. And Girl Scout. Hell, everything of theirs can go in here.
• Say what you want about Michael Jackson, but he's made of win in this category (arguably, his whole success is based upon creating persistent ear Worms):
  • "'Cause this is thriller / Thriller night!"
    • "Night creatures crawlin' / The dead start to walk in their maaaaasquerade!
  • "Billie Jean is not my lover / She's just a girl who claims that I am the one / But the kid is not my son..."
  • "Just beat it / beat it..."
  • "Annie Are You OK? / So, Annie Are You OK? / Are You OK Annie? / Annie Are You OK? / So, Annie Are You OK? / Are You OK Annie? / Annie Are You OK? / So, Annie Are You OK? / Are You OK Annie? / You've Been Hit By / You've Been Hit By A Smooth Criminal!"
    • Even the bass riff is something you end up humming... Dum-dum dada-dumdum, dada-dumdum, dada-dumdum, dum!
  • I want to love you / (P.Y.T.) Pretty Young Thing / You need some lovin' / TLC (Tender Loving Care)/ And I'll take you there...
  • "Dirty DIANAAAAAA"!
  • "I wanna rock with you! (All niiiiight!)/Dance you into day! (Sunliiiiight)
  • "You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it!"
  • While we're on the Jacksons, how about "I Want You Back" or "ABC" by the Jackson 5? The bass line of "I Want You Back" will not leave your head for a week.
  • Oh, and don't forget this one: "The way she came into the room / I knew right then and there / there was something different about this girl". Dangerous. A dangerous ear worm, one might truthfully say.
  • Life ain't so bad at all! Live your life off the wall!
  • Gonna Dance, Gonna Shout, Gonna Burn This Disco Out!
  • Just because you read it in a magazine/Or see it on the TV screen/Don't make it factual/Though everybody wants to read all about it. Catchy and true!
  • Keep on, with the force don't stop, don't stop 'til you get enough...
• Rick James: That Girl's a Super Freak!

  • H to the Izzo
  • IN NEW YOOOOORK! Concrete jungle where dreams are made of! (gets even worse after hearing the Star Wars version)
• The song "Verteidiger des Wahren Blödsinns" by German band JBO. The lyrics are basically an ode to fun and nonsense (the name translates to something like: "Defenders of the True Nonsense"). The whole thing is also a style parody of Manowar.
• Practically anything by Jellyfish.
• '80s Teen Pop family band The Jets had a few earworms in their brief career:
  • Crush On You
  • You Got It All
  • Cross My Broken Heart
  • Make It Real
  • Rocket 2U

  • The Story Of The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles, Living In The Past, Slipstream, and Locomotive Breath.
  • Also - Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of A New Day, Thick As A Brick, Too Old To Rock And Roll, and Aqualung.
    • Yeah, but which part of Thick as a Brick? It's 45 minutes long and has about seventeen different Earworms buried in it.
      • I nominate "The Poet and the Painter" and "Come On ye Childhood Heroes" (my unofficial titles because the sections don't have official ones)
  • Don't forget Baker St. Muse. It's only 16 minutes long but it's so damn catchy throughout. Especially the end; "There was a little boy stood on a burning log, Rubbing his hands with glee!"
• Billy Joel:
  • "We Didn't Start The Fire" is infuriatingly catchy, particularly if you were alive for the events described.
  • It really, really doesn't help that Coca-Cola used a cover of this song for the "Los Cocacoleros" ad, a 2006 FIFA World Cup Special.
  • If you weren't alive for all of those events, there's College Humor.com's "We Didn't Start the Flamewar"
  • Or alternatively, JibJab's "In 2007," which is just as catchy as the original with updated lyrics.
  • I BET SHES NEVER HAD A BACKSTREET GUY, I BET HER MAMA NEVER TOLD HER WHY
  • Pretty much anything by Billy Joel. Try "Only The Good Die Young" and "Downeaster Alexa" on for size.

• Elton John:
  • "She's got electric boots!/A mohair suit!/You know I read it in a magazine!/Buh-buh-buh-benny and the jetsss..."
  • CAUSE I LIVE AND BREATHE, THIS PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM! Yes, this song is only a year younger than I am. No, I do not care.
  • "'I'm the rocket man... ROCKET MAN! Burning out his fuse up here alone..."
  • "So Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, where the dogs of society howl..."
  • Two words: Crocodile Rock.
  • Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding has arguably the catchiest guitar riff I've ever heard in the second part of the song.
  • "Hold me closer, tiny dancer/Count the headlights on the highway..."
  • "I'm Still Standing"
  • "Don't go breaking my heart, I wouldn't if I tried..."
  • "Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey..."
• Jonas Brothers:
  • "Year 3000" is the bane of my sisters existence.
  • I admit that in the past I've been a nasty, they weren't kidding when they called me kinda strange...
• Journey:
  • "Don't Stop Believin'"
    • Oh you bastard, I struggle to resist the urge to break out with 'JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL!' in the middle of lectures at the best of times.
    • My choir is singing this as the finale for our mid-winter concert. As such, we have now practically made it our tradition for all of us to sing it at the top of our lungs on bus rides going to singing competitions or shows. It's a blast to have 20 people crammed on a short bus screaming "DOOOOON'T STOP BELIIIIEEEVIIIIN'!"
  • Wheel in the sky keeps on turning
    • "ANY WAY YOU WANT IT, THAT'S THE WAY YOU NEED IT! ANY WAY YOU WANT IT!"
    • What about the end of "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'"? Nahhh nah, nah-nahhh nahhh nah...
  • "One day! Love will find you! Break those! Chains that bind yooou!"
    • Try this one
  • "So now I cooooommee tooo youuu with ooopen aaaaarrms..."
• Bon Jovi:
  • SHOT THROUGH THE HEART! And you're to blame. Darling you give love a bad name!
  • AAAAAAH-YEAAAAH! Livin' on a praaaaaaayer!
  • It's my liiiiiiiiiiiiiife! It's now or never!
  • "Who says you can't go home / There's only one place they call me one of their own / Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone..."
• No siento penas by Juanes. A love song with such memorable lines as "Cuando tu me dices a media voz que te ame / Me siento invencible como el huracan mas terrible" and also "Cuando tu me dices a media voz que no me vaya / Me siento indestructible como un cañon de metralla".
  • Translated to english they mean "When you tell me in a soft voice that you love me / I feel invincible like the most terrible hurricane" and "When you tell me in a soft voice that you won't leave me / I feel indestructible like an artillery cannon".
• Judas Priest:
  • HE! IS! THE PAINKILLER! THIS! IS! THE PAINKILLER!

• Kevin Federline "Lose Control" Most people hate his album "Playing With Fire" but at the very least, you admit that this song is awfully catchy.
• Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good". Not immediately EarWormy, but hell if doesn't grow on you deliciously. Its remixes for Happy Feet and Glee (here) are nice too.
• Who could forget the immortal Eduard Khil performing Ostrovskii's "I Am So Happy to Finally Be Back Home" on Soviet television in the traditional vokaliz style? The video clip survived the fall of the Soviet Union and became the "Trololol" meme in March of 2010.
  • Trololo it's not the only Edward Khil's earworm...
• Kid Cudi vs Crookers' "Day N' Night" Fittingly, it may actually keep you up all night.

  • I'm a cowboy baby... (Ridin' all night and sleepin' all day.)
• The Killers:
  • "All These Things That I've Done". Also known as the one song that goes, I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.
    • I'm a lot more prone to getting Bill Bailey's version of that one single line in my head. Come on everyone: "I've got ham but..."
  • "Somebody Told Me"
  • The opening guitar part to Uncle Johnny.
  • The Spaceman says "Everybody look down"... because it's all in my ear.
  • "There ain't no motive for this crime/Jenny was a friend of mine/So come on, so come on, so come on."
  • "Mr. Brightside" qualifies, and I find the same with "Bones" and "When You Were Young". But especially "Mr. Brightside".
  • I have no idea what "Are we human or are we dancers?" is supposed to mean, but it's incredibly catchy.
    • It's a Hunter S. Thompson quote. I'm not entirely sure it means anything.

• Kingston Trio - MTA and With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm
• KMFDM - "Virus"
• The Knack - I don't think anyone's mentioned "My Sharona" just yet...it's a particularly virulent one, too.
  • Try "Nine Coronas". It's just as catchy as the original, only people give you stranger looks when you're singing those lyrics instead.
  • Or Weird Al's "My Bologna"!
• Kool & The Gang: Ceeeeelebration time, come on!
• Korpiklaani's Happy Little Boozer.
• Korn:
  • "Here to Stay" and "Ya'll Want a Single"
  • And "Freak on a Leash".
  • After many Korn fans heard a pre-release sample of the chorus of "Fear Is A Place To Live", it became embedded in their brains note-for-note until the album finally came out.
  • "Falling Away From Me" and "Trash" qualify as well.
• "Ignition (Remix)" by the delightful R Kelly. "Sippin' on coke n' rum, I'm like so what 'm drunk, it's the freakin' weekend, baby I'm about to have me some fun." Ick, make it stop.
  • Can I get a 'TOOT TOOT'? Can I get a 'BEEP BEEP'?

• Lady Antebellum:

• Ladytron:
  • "Destroy Everthing You Touch". "What you touch / you don't feel / Do not know / what you steal..."
  • And '17' "They only want you when your 17/When your 21 your no fun"
