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

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.
Don't call me "Shirley." You will surely make me surly.
