Worst earworm ever?

[Bossy Monkey]

I think it's one of the twin towers of 70's mediocrity, Andy Kim's "Rock Me Gently" or King Harvest's "Dancing in the Moonlight." However, the most pernicious (meaning not necessarily bad, but definitely ineradicable) is at least for me that Caddyshack theme by Kenny Loggins with the Michael McDonald backing vocals: "I'm Alright"

Yours?

By the way, this is all Adenoid_Hynkel's fault. (Earlier thread on most annoying song)

[Wickerman]

1. Anything Phil Collins

Cause they are all pretty much the same song and are designed to be earworms above music. :scared: I fear to name a title lest it stick in my head.

In the Air Tonight - don't even start thinking about that song!

[Systematic Chaos]

2. "Dancing In the Moonlight" makes me ill

Love the Caddyshack theme though.

I don't mean to offend some people here who love the guy, but what really sticks in my head like a big ball of razor wire is just about anything by Van Morrison. :scared:

[Bossy Monkey]

15. It does so for all right-thinking people. Somebody actually covered it

at some point for reasons that are totally beyond me.

I like all Van's tunes except "Moondance," but agree that they tend to be insanely catchy and almost ineradicable once you get them in your head.

3. I had fucking Duelling Banjos in my brain yesterday

[Bluebear]

6. Everytime Sen. Sessions speaks I hear that in my mind

Thanks to someone's suggestion at DU!

[no name no slogan]

4. Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend"

and thanks for the new frickin earworm! :P

5. Dexxy's Midnight Runner's...

Come On Eileen

[Bossy Monkey]

8. Lucky me. It was a hit the whole year I was in England, I get home and

guess what? It made the Atlantic crossing with me! Other than that, I really enjoyed junior year abroad.:)

How you been, fella?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. I am good.... I had just broken up a really intense

but bad relationship with an Eileeen when it hit... it was not a fun summer of .... what? 82?

[Bossy Monkey]

14. '82 in Britain, '83 here, I thought

but maybe the damned thing was a hit over here the whole year and I was mistaken all this time that it followed me home. Anyway, '82-'83 was my junior year abroad.

7. Kokomo (That's all I'm saying lest it get into my brain now)

on edit: FUCK! It's in there. I should have known better.

[nytemare]

9. Jussssssst sit right back and you'll hear a tale!

:)

[Porcupine]

10. "Someone left a cake out in the rain"

McArthur Park. Hah! Try and get that out of your head. It's the cockroach of all pop songs. Just can't kill the damn thing.

[General Zod]

11. Afternoon Delight, by the Starland Vocal Band

Once this piece of excrement is in your brain, your fucked. Catchy, but extremely wretched.

[RoyGBiv]

12. Seconded!

I saw _Anchorman_ the other day, and I have not been able to get this piece of shlock out of my head ever since.

[KitchenWitch]

17. I am inclined to agree

Another good one is "Having My Baby"

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. The song from the Boner Bob commercials...

You, know, the guy with the beautiful wife waiting in the clubhouse...dum dum dum dee ditty dum dum dum. Ok, now ya got it. Live with it.
