"Dory, I'm gonna get stuck now WITH THAT SONG! Now it's in my head!" —Marlin, Finding Nemo

Disney may make your dreams come true, but they also infect your brains with ridiculously catchy tunes.

---

• A heffalump or woozel is very confusel! A heffalump or woozle's very sly! (Sly! Sly! Sly!) They come in ones and twoozles, but if they so choosels, before your eyes, you'll see them multiply! (Ply! Ply! Ply!)
  • In the same vein, but not as catchy, Look out! Look out! Pink elephants on parade! Here they come! Hippity hoppity! They're here and there! Pink elephants everywhere!
• It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all.
• K9 crunchies can't be beat/ They make each meal a special treat /Happy dogs are those that eat / Delicious K9 Crunchies
  • * The Kanine Krunchies theme.
• Zip-a-dee-do-dah, zip-a-dee-aye! My oh my what a wonderful day...
  • "Zip-Ah-Dee-Do-Dah" was originally from Song of the South. If it wasn't an earworm, it would be forgotten. Cause you know, in Disney World, it never happened.
  • But Splash Mountain certainly happened (the attraction still has the Song of the South references). Speaking of which, "Everybody has a laughin' place, a laughin' place to go ho ho..."
  • Can't forget "How Do You Do?" which is probably the most annoyingly catchiest of the movie's songs.
    • And because misery loves company...
• "Buy 'n' Large, we're your super-store! We've got all you need...and so much more!"
  • And, from the same studio: "You've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me..."
    • Arguably even more earwormy in Spanish.
  • "Straaaaaaaange things are happening to me..."
  • Toy Story 2 gives us the Woody's Roundup theme song. OK, really just anything by Randy Newman.
    • "Fat man with his kids and dog, drove in through the mornin' fog..."
    • Lovingly spoofed in this Lord of the Rings version: Go hobbits, go!
  • From Your Friend the Rat: "Imagine if you will a world where women, rats, and men and children live in peace and harmony. We're even holding hands! We're dancing through the streets and singing cabaret songs. Ooh la la la! Join with us! We'll make a human ratty wonderland!"
• You haaaaaaad plenty moneey nine-teen twenty twoooooooooo...
  • Smiiiiiile, darn ya smiiiile...

    • Hello, Hello, Hello. Can you hear me now, or am I losing you? Gotta reconnect somehow...
    • Quit playing games with my head/ I’m a sport, but I’m not a toy/ Let’s not analyze what I said/ I don’t want to be a complex boy, boy, boy, boy, BOY, BOY BOY!
• "Who's that girl, what's her name?"
  • I don't care if I'm wrong or right but I could eat chicken every night
  • Take a look around its a heck of a town! 15,000 people can't be wrong!
  • I don't mean to be rude or seem unkind if you sing one more song I will lose my mind
• "I just can't wait to be king!" "You ain't never had a FRIEEEEEEND LIKE MEEEEEEE!
  • Also, it's not just Disney musicals... it's all musicals.
  • Let's get down to business. To defeat, THE HUNS!
    • In Mandarin. Sung by Jackie Chan.
  • "Look Out for Mr. Stork, That persevering chap..."
  • O RLY? This troper has had "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" wedged into his head forcefully for God knows how long... which has only served to make him love it even more. Go figure.
  • Who can forget this number from Beauty and the Beast? Gosh it disturbs me to see you Gaston, looking so down in the dumps, every guy would love to be you Gaston even when taking your lumps, there's no man in town as admired as you, you're everyone's favourite guy, everyone's awed and inspired by you, and it's not very hard to see why. No one's slick as Gaston, no one's quick as Gaston, no one's neck as incredibly thick as Gaston's, there's no man in town half as manly, perfect a pure paragon. You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley and they will tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on.
    • No one's gloomy or complaining While the flatware's entertaining We tell jokes I do tricks With my fellow candlesticks

    • "And that's the Gospel Truth...". It helps that the muses are voiced by Broadway singers.
    • "I will FIND my way... I can go the distance...
    • "If there's a prize for rotten judgement * sighs* I think i've already won that. No man is worth the aggrevation. But that's ancient history been there done that./Who do you think you're kidding? He's the earth and heaven to you, try to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through you, girl you can't conceal it, we know what you're thinking and who you're thinking of./ Oh no chance no way I won't say it no no/ You swoon you sigh why deny it uh oh!/ It's too cliché I won't say i'm in love."
    • The ongoing series had an in-universe example. Every time Aphrodite appeared, some celestial choir would chant, "Aphrodite, Aphrodite, Aphrodite! Goddess of Love!" and it seemed to get on the nerves of some folks. In one episode, Hercules needs to get an arrow from Cupid, who tells him, "I can give you a quiver of them if you can help get that stupid song outta my head!"
  • Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam

    • Choose me or your pyre, be mine or you will burn!

• "The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake."

  • Bum-BADA-Bum-BA..."My dear, sweet child, that's what I do..."
  • "Second Rate" from The Return of Jafar. It's the drum beat that does it for this troper.
  • Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, BELLS OF NOTRE DAAAAAAAAAME!!
• "I've got voodoo, I've got hoodoo, I've got things I ain't even tried..."

• "There's no case too big, no case too small. When you need help, just call: Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers!"
  • "Adventures in Squirrelsitting" also gave the toe-tapping "Fat Cat Stomp".
  • Two others from the same show are "The Best of Everything" (sung by Fat Cat in the pilot episode) and the Coo-Coo Cola jingle from the episode "The Case of the Cola Cult".
  • There's also that episode with the crazy bee-keeping lady that did metal concerts or some such. As for the theme song, the electric guitar version of it at the end of some episodes was pretty awesome.
• Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze!
  • Which, thanks to this trope, is exactly true.
  • Are you achin' for some bacon?
    • Not only that, it's catchy in nearly every language you can think of. This troper is particularly fond of Timon's Hebrew voice.
    • That's the Hawaiian War Chant there.
  • So be prepared for the chance of a lifetime. Be prepared for sensational news...
    • "Be Prepared" is also really great in German (even if this troper can only pick out a handful of the words).
  • "Oh, I just can't wait to be kiiiiiing!"

  • Let's face it, every single song from any Lion King film is an Ear Worm.
    • This troper HATES The Lion King 2.... however this is an exception.
• This little number, a short electronica tune comprised near-entirely of samples from Disney's Alice in Wonderland, sternly refuses to leave this troper's head. Along with the video, in fact.
  • From the actual film, "Painting the Roses Red", "Walrus and the Carpenter", and "Merry Unbirthday"
    • And the Cacus Race!
• The Nightmare Before Christmas ' This is Halloween.
  • While somewhat creepier in tone, Marilyn Manson's version also qualifies.
    • This troper nominates Korn's cover of 'Kidnap the Sandy Claws'. Just...listen to it. (La-lala-lalala, la-la-lala-laaaaaa!)
    • Korn nothing, listen to Buckethead's version here. It leads into the Halloween theme.
  • Hey, don't forget Oogie Boogie's song.
    • How could I forget something that hideously catchy...

"Release me now or you must face dire consequences! The children are expecting me, so please come to your senses!" "You're jokin'! You're jokin'! I can't believe my ears! Would someone shut this fella up? I'm drownin' in my tears! It's funny! I'm laughin'! You really are too much! And now, with your permission, I'm going to do my stuff." "What're you going to do?" "Gonna do the best I can..."

• • WHAT?! IS?! THIS?! *smack*
  • Christmas-time is buzzing in my skull/will it let me be? I cannot tell/There are so many things I cannot grasp/When I think I've got, then at last/Though my bony fingers it does slip/Like a snowflake in a fiery grip!
  • Making Christmas! Making Christmas! Fa-la-la!

  • You and me together will be, forever you'll see, we two will be good company...
  • Streets of Gold.
    • Perfect Isn't Easy
• Classic Disney Shorts. "Who's got a sweet disposition? One guess that's whooo...."
  • From the World War Two era Classic Disney Shorts: "When der FOO-rer says, We iz da master race, we HEIL! (raspberry) HEIL! (raspberry), right in der FOO-rer's face!"
    • The anti-Nazi short was originally called "Donald Duck in Nutzi Land," but the song "Der Fuehrer's Face" that was composed for it became such a runaway hit that they changed the name.

  • "In the city of loooooooove....... (In the city of loove..)"
