There are two kinds of earworm (song that gets stuck in your head).
The kind that is really annoying and makes you want to jab a chop stick in your ear to kill it, generally from children's programing or commercials.
Side note: I remember one time my brother wandered in to the kitchen singing a tampon jingle and my Mom and I had to try to explain to him that he should stop without giving him way more info than he needed at seven.
The other kind of earworm is just as invasive but less painful. It's the kind that is just so darn catchy you have to go buy the song and listen to it 500 times in a row until it looses it's grip on your brain (Friday's post in my case).
Here's a list of some of the earworms that have joined my catalogue for better or worse.

Younger Son cursed me with this ditty over the summer.
Oh dear! Yeah that has earworm written all over it. What I find amusing is none of those animals is actually eating a burrito.
No burrito!
Maybe that's what makes it taste so good!
"Son of a Preacher Man!" That's my earworm. Enjoy your blog.
