Ear Worm: Difference between revisions

* An episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' features Peter hearing the song "Surfin' Bird" for the first time in years. Upon hearing that the restaurant management is going to throw away the record, he takes it and soon becomes obsessed with the song. He blares it for days upon end, he constantly brings it up in conversation so he can play it, he withdraws a large sum of money just to promote the song on TV, and he even uses the record as a sex toy. Eventually, Stewie and Brian steal the record and destroy it—and to make sure he doesn't ever play it again, they destroy every copy in town. {{spoiler|Thanks to Jesus, Peter gets another copy at the end anyway.}}

* A ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode (aptly titled [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|"Ear Worm"]]) has SpongeBob listening to a new song called "Musical Doodle", and [[G-Rated Drug|gaining a dangerous addiction to it.]] {{spoiler|Which turns out to be caused by an actual worm living in his ear listening to the song over and over again on a phonograph.}}

* ''[[Regular Show]]'', episode "This Is My Jam", has "Summertime Lovin', Loving in the Summer (time)" which becomes so relentless catchy that it eventually takes on physical form. The guys end up countering it by creating their own Ear Worm and blasting the Summertime Song, resulting in [[The Power of Rock|the two songs manifesting as giant glowing men who duel with guitars]]. Yeah, it's [[Widget Series|that kind of show]].
