Line 83:
** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLMJpHihykI You Are (Arr?) a Pirate]" is the hands-down winner; even the closing theme hasn't got as much sticking power as that one.

{{quote|'''[[Stephen Colbert]]:''' That song just digs into your brain like an alien parasite.}}
* The series ''[[Medium]]'' has this in the episode "The Song Remains the Same", with Alison having "I Will Survive" blaring in her head making her shout and barely hear what people are saying. At one point the "record" skips, only continuing when she got closer to the broken iPod of the missing girl.
