Ear Worm: Difference between revisions

* In the "Strangers" plot of ''[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/tag/strangers JLA Watchtower]'', several Titans and Titan allies were "swapped out" with [[Evil Counterpart]] members of the [[Rogues Gallery]], while the Titans themselves were "stuck in the heads" of their evil counterparts. One of the most effective ways the captive Titans fought back was by singing annoying songs to the supervillains, driving them to distraction.

* ''[[Finding Nemo]]'' invokes both this and Disney movies [[Award Bait Song]]s when Dory starts singing an obvious parody of such a song. "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming...".

* In the movie ''Thoughtcrimes'', Brendan doesn't believe in Freya's telepathic abilities until she mentions that he'd had the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' theme song stuck in his head all day.

* In ''[[Wayne's World|Waynes World]]'', Wayne has the song "Hey Mickey" stuck in his head. He and his girlfriend sing it to expel it.

== Live-Action TV ==

* The concept is used in an episode of French TV series ''[[Kaamelott]]'': [[King Arthur]] can't get out of his head a song he heard from a minstrel ("À la volette", a traditional children's song). He spends most of the episode getting distracted and trying to get the melody out of his head (even interrupting a council to sing it out loud). Ironically, the series was so popular that the song itself became once more well-known and remains a prime example of the Ear Worm in France.

* The "You Are the Best" [[Training Montage]] song from ''[[The Colbert Report|Tek Jansen]]''.
