Still Alive from Portal

Escape - The pina colada song

Smooth criminal

If you can find a loop of the first few seconds before the lyrics of VengaBoys We LikeTo Party, that's diabolical IMO.

Otherwise, that song is, IMO, such a good earworm.

Crazy Frog - Axel F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85mRPqvMbE

"Don't put bananas in my butt" song

The Name Game by Jessica Lange

I used to send this song to a friend of mine all the time. It’ll get stuck in your head for weeks…

Baby Come Back -Player

Superfreak by Rick James. In fact, I use it to knock out other songs trying to establish a beachhead in my brain.

"United States of Israel" and "United States of Pedophiles" are good ones.

Look at my horse!

Shake A Bone

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner

DOO DOO DOO DOO, DOO DA DOO DOO, DOO DOO DOO DOO, DOO DA DOO DOO

You'll need a surgeon to extract it from her brain.

And mine now, too.

If you hear it once, it stays with you forever.

Sorry to go nuclear on your wife. Make it through the chorus of this song (mmm bop) one time and it's just about guaranteed earworm. In the words of Mr. Miyagi "If do right, no can defend."

I'm probably screwed just by thinking of the song to recommend it to you. 😁

Take this ancient weapon from the 80s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIgZ7gMze7A

Pompeii by Bastille. Not so much the song but the day-day-oh, day-oh chant that runs under it.

Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye. It took me years to get rid of it. I am in danger simply talking about it here.

Speaking of Day-oh though, the Banana Boat Song made famous by Harry Belafonte and also its appearance in Beetlejuice is a mid tier earworm. It all depends on how evil you're feeling.

Edit: 10 imaginary points if you spot what I had to fix.

Somebody once told me

I'mmmmm saiiiiiling away...

Kittyman Sea Shanty by the Trailer Park Boys.

Or Amazing Horse by MrWeebl.

Or perhaps Give That Wolf a Banana by Subwoolfer.

Dragostea din te (might not be spelling that right but it's iconic enough that it should pop right up when searched).

Also blue by Eiffel 65, the party rock anthem or crazy frog. No lyrics but still catchy is something like Sandstorm.

Baby shark do do do-do

I’m surprised nobody mentioned Yellow Submarine yet. Or the Sesame Street theme. Or Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo.

If you really want to be evil you can also do The 7th Element or Better Off Alone. You have options

The worst earworms are when you dont really know the words. If you dont have kids I recommend Danny Go.

These 3 are classics that get burned into my brain
