    • For some reason, I got thinking of earworms today - possibly because I was thinking of a different office-mate long ago; we used to compete to get annoying little tunes stuck in each other's brain, and even had a way to keep score, part of which was how long it took to get rid of a particularly annoying little tune.

    So - what is the MOST annoying little earworm have you encountered? (Besides the Barney song...)
    (And if you get an earworm from reading this, you have been warned...)

    • Earworms don't really bother me since songs don't get stuck in my head if I don't find them amusing on some level. Chocolate Disco by Perfume is probably the one that's stayed lodged in there the longest.

    • No one has mentioned any of the Crazy Frog remixes yet? For shame. OK, so they aren't exactly earworms... one hopes... but they do tend to annoy.

    Crazy Frog - Crazy Frog in the House"


    Crazy Frog - "Axel F"


    Crazy Frog - "We Are the Champions"


    Crazy Frog - "The Flash"


    Crazy Frog - "Daddy DJ"


    Crazy Frog - "Popcorn"


    Crazy Frog - "I Like To Move It"


    Crazy Frog - "Cha Cha Slide"


    They... they are still releasing new ones? Ye gods and little fishes...

    Crazy Frog - "Pinocchio"


    You can thank me later :-p

    • All of a sudden I can't stop thinking about Henry Kuttner's "Nothing but Gingerbread Left," and Mark Twain's "A Literary Nightmare."

    Conductor, when you receive a fare,

    Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
    A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
    A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
    A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
    Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

    CHORUS
    Punch, brothers! Punch with care!
    Punch in the presence of the passenjare!

    • Well, these are not quite earworms... more like ear-alien-arthropode-larva... but still, memorable.

    Like the Guide says, they just babble on and on.
