One of the few I can enjoy is Boney M's Daddy Cool. Had to endure it for hours on a trip so I guess I had to enjoy it as a defense mechanism.

The Cranberries - Zombie really gets stuck in your head. In your hea-ed, in your hea-e-a-ed, zombie, zombie, zombie-eh-eh.

Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock

You've undoubtedly heard it before in samples, at least.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm on a Watermelon Man kick right now. You should listen to it by Poncho Sanchez. Herbie Hancock is a genius, a modern day miracle, and outside of jazz almost no one knows.

Every song is an earthworm to me (I sing or hum constantly) but there are TWO SONGS that TRUMP EVERY SONG and destroy my playlist, playing non-stop for at least a week after I hear them, sometimes just mentioning them is enough. I hate them so much, they are like my nemesis(es).

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

May they be nuked from space.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Rattlesnake

https://youtu.be/Q-i1XZc8ZwA

I hear this song once, then I hear it in my head for the next week.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I came here to suggest the dripping tap by gizzard, but now all I hear is "rattlesnake" over and over, cheers for that!

Peacemaker intro: Do you wanna taste it? by Wigwam

I know it's an old thread but it's a good question.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I hate that.. Mostly because I can go around for days having a song in my head and can't for the life of me stop getting it off.
