Line 12:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB8F8g1-4Uw the Colonel Bogey March] from ''[[The Bridge on the River Kwai]]''. That is all.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND4oiuJCCjw Don't you just want to wear a cowboy hat and ride on a horse when you hear this music?]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSLQmOqGh6E&feature=related Another Bernstein piece that nobody ever forgets], although it may take them until 20 seconds in to get it. Dun-Dun-Dun DuhDa Dun-Dun-Dun...
*** Even better [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KecnOolcwIo live with the maestro himself.] You know you have reached [[Ear Worm]] status when the audience are clapping and whistling to your tune!!!
* [[Eraserhead|"In heaven, everything is fine. In heaven, everything is fine. In heaven, everything is fine. You've got your good things, and you've got mine..."]]
Line 57:
** Is there anyone who reads the words "There's a light" and doesn't suddenly find themselves humming "Over At The Frankenstein Place"?
** Hot Patootie, bless my soul, really love that rock n roll.
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnvVtCC-nsw title song] to ''[[Shock Treatment]]''.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOEUpYcSwOM "Denton, U.S.A."] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25ZVa_fvs9Y "Bitchin' in the Kitchen"]. O'Brien is one catchy bastard.
* While probably not its actual origin, the taunt song from ''[[Remember the Titans]]'' gets stuck in many people's heads. ''Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.''
Line 78:
* Much of the stuff from the ''[[Mirror Mask]]'' soundtrack. Especially the version of "[[Nightmare Valley|Close To You]]", and especially [[Nightmare Fuel|when you're trying to sleep]].
* ''[[Imagine Me and You]]'' ends the movie with the same song (which is [[Refrain From Assuming|actually titled]] ''Happy Together''), making it an almost sure thing for you to be singing that song for the next two hours or more.
* "[[The Elevator From Ipanema|The Girl From Ipanema]]". The elevator-music version from ''[[The Blues Brothers]]''. And "Rawhide".
* "Vogue," Madonna. You know that scene in ''[[The Devil Wears Prada]]'' where Andie shows off her new fashionista wardrobe to her boyfriend? Yup. ''That'' song.
* ''[[Scarface]]:'' "Push It to Limit," "She's on Fire", "Vamos A Bailar" and "I'm Hot Tonight."
Line 90:

(Or, as it's more commonly known, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqU_0xpILIU ((BROKEN))Yello's "Oh Yeah".])
** ''Chicka... chicka-chick-aaaahhhhh...''
* [[Manos: The Hands of Fate|The Haunting Torgo Theme]]

Line 120:
* Henry Mancini, dear ''God'', Henry Mancini. ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86znnjhYrq4 ThePinkPanther]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVuvRBqhkxQ ((BROKEN))A Shot In The Dark]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjGDjwxRwpI Charade]'', and that's just for starters...
** Oh, man. "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Nh49a8q2E4 ((BROKEN))Baby Elephant Walk]" fits here perfectly. Talk about a song that just goes on forever in your head.
* [[Monty Python and
** "He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin..."
** "Brave sir Robin Ran away!" "No!"
Line 128:
** [[Ominous Latin Chanting|"Pie Jesu Domine * THUD* dona eis requiem. * THUD* "]]
* Also from the Pythons, every song from ''[[Monty Python's The Meaning of Life|Meaning of Life]]''. Especially the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsEcMH_BGfU intro song], the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9PiqCeLEmM penis song] (which is horribly difficult not to sing at work when you get bored and remember the all the words), and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0kJHQpvgB8 Every Sperm is Sacred.] But the worst offender of this trope is the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buqtdpuZxvk Galaxy song]
* [[The

** There's another song of the same name. Gets stuck just as easily.
** There's a Mandarin dialect Hokkien song that's hit earworm status by keeping with the premise of If I Were A Rich Man. The refrain translates into "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtkL5Ldpk-g If I had a million dollars]" then goes on to talk about flying to America, or Japan, just to eat sushi...
Line 166:

* Michael Giacchino's score for the new ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' movie has a grade-A [[Ear Worm]] for a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOe2reF8DS8 ((BROKEN))main theme]. It doesn't help that it's played ''every five minutes''. Lucky thing it's [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome]].
** A lot of Giacchino's music tends to have this effect. Just go listen to any of the themes from the [[Speed Racer (film)|Speed Racer]] movie. Any of them. Especially "Casa Cristo" and the revamped main theme.

Fortunately, this just means that whatever you do for the rest of your day, be it [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|taking out the garbage or enjoying your hobby of stamp collecting]], will be incredibly, awesomely, '''EPIC'''.
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5jcGA_gK40 ((BROKEN))Down With The Enterprise]", by some miracle, manages to be even ''[[Up to Eleven|more]]'' earworm-y and '''EPIC''' in equal measure.
Line 245:
** "I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss!" Even better if you're going for Pip's version.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYQ2_WBlIxM&feature=related Dum. Da da. Da da da da da da da da da dum...]

Line 251:
** Tell me more! Tell me more! Did you get very far?
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlozwEe7JTs From Chandi Chowk to China]... [[Dick Richardson]] can't find a translation, but DAMN if it wasn't catchy.
* [[Meet the Feebles|Sodomy... you must think it very odd of me, that I enjoy the act of sodomy.]] Especially dangerous because it's both maddeningly catchy ''and'' of course a pretty inappropriate thing to ever find yourself singing under your breath in public.
