"Ya know, at this point, it doesn't matter. Because it keeps runnin' inside my head and it won't leave unless I blow it out. With a bullet!"

After I saw Annie I had to hit myself on the head with a small hammer to get that stupid "Tomorrow" song out of my head.

Ian Shoales

"Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers! Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale When there's danger!
This song will be in your head all day and night because of sing-along with Craig!"

ScrewAttack, "Top 10 Cartoon Games"

"With great power comes great responsibility,"
That's the Catch Phrase of old Uncle Ben
And if you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the line
Again and again and again.

"Weird Al" Yankovic, "Ode to a Superhero"

"LEFT/LEFT/LEFT a wife and/SEVenteen children in/STARVing condition with/NOTHing but gingerbread/LEFT/LEFT..."

That song is driving me crazy I got to hear it again,
First time I heard it I was with some friends

Tom T. Hall, "That song is driving me crazy"

"Ear worm! Ear worm! GET IT OUT!"

Bill Corbett, Riff Trax

"Dory, I'm gonna get stuck now WITH THAT SONG! Now it's in my head!"

Marlin, Finding Nemo

"The most horrible part is, now, I can't get those damn songs out of my head."

"Hello, hello, I am thy ear worm, thy ear worm
"Hello, hello, I am thy ear worm, thy ear worm."

Wise Guys, "Ear Worm"

Oh, you know of what I speak
Songs within your head and eek
It's a most rebellious song
When the boss has come along
Or perhaps th'annoying tune
Is a Christmas song in June
Or songs politically inclined
But you stand on the other side

They're so annoying, all these ear worms
E'en if you like the song
The timing generally is wrong
There's just one way to lose these ear worms
Plant in someone else's head,
And make it play inside their brain instead.

Tawaki, "All These Ear Worms"

"Hijacked auditory control
Meme lodging worms infest
A mind virus taking hold
Rife with barbed hooks and trite melodies
Chiclete De Ouvido
Loops on repeat, regurgitated
Dry heaving chunks of aural bile
Can't get this out, of my head
Make it stop!"

And of course, at the end of every episode, we had to listen to that godawful song that we all hated to listen to, and yet we could never get out of our heads.

It's an ear worm aaaafter all.
It's an ear worm aaaafter all!
Iiiit's an ear worm aaaafter all!
It's an ear, ear, worm!

A corruption of the song It's a Small World.

Ohhhh Ember, so warm and tender… You will remember my name!

—Lyrics to Remember, from Danny Phantom

"I have had 'Winter Wrap-Up' stuck in my head since I woke up. Someone please, please, PLEASE kill me."

Exalted freelancer Holden Shearer's twitter

"Why is it that I can remember a cigarette ad jingle from 30 years ago, but I can't remember what I just got up to do?"

The song that you ran from is back again
You wonder if the madness will ever end
Trying to stop it is futile
So just listen now to my Musical Doodle

—Lyrics to "The Musical Doodle", from SpongeBob SquarePants

This is the part where we na nana
Every hit song needs a na nana
You'll wake up at night screaming na nana
My grandmother's nickname is Nana

I can't get the [Wreck of the] Edmund Fitzgerald out of my head now. Who was that Angel of Catchy Tunes again? And how badly are we allowed to hurt him?

—Eric Alfred Burns, on the Liber Locations playtest board at Steve Jackson Games's website
