My wife keeps singing music from Into the Woods. It’s a fine musical, and I’m a fan of it, but she’s getting the songs such in my head.
I need ammunition to fight back with.
What’s a good song to play that I can’t get stuck in her head?
Take this ancient weapon from the 80s:
You could’ve simply type “Jitterbug!” to plant this into our collective brains.
Oooh that’s delightfully sinister love it
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.
It’s ‘Eheu!’ and it means some variation of ‘Oh no’ or ‘Alas’ or even ‘Oh shit!’ in Latin.
I should have looked up the lyrics, but eheu, I did not.
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.
…goddammit
Somebody once told me

Kittyman Sea Shanty by the Trailer Park Boys.
Or Amazing Horse by MrWeebl.
Or perhaps Give That Wolf a Banana by Subwoolfer.
Are Eurovision songs allowed? That’s cheating. https://youtu.be/1jSrBdN4b5c

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.
I’m so saucy!
Baby shark do do do-do
Mmbop
Easy, Satan.
The worst earworms are when you dont really know the words. If you dont have kids I recommend Danny Go.
Danny Go is so weird because it sets off all of my kids slop sensors but it’s actually pretty decent. Gets the kids moving, it’s generally fine content wise, doesn’t overdo the cuts between shots or have too much going on on screen to destroy the kids’ attention span, but my gosh its stylized like so many slop channels I have to double-take every time
Yeah it rubbed me that way at first for sure. Ive come around, though. From what i understand they started it for their son, who recently passed.
The “hyper” videos drive me nuts but hey, can’t really fault them for finding a way to make money off the same thing twice I suppose.
Still Alive from Portal
Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama
Don’t Stop Believing by Journey
Are you Betty on Bluesky? I have to know.
Eeeeeeevil Betty?
No, I just find the movie Kung Pow: Enter the Fist to be pretty amusing.
Had to ask! There’s a dude on Bluesky with your exact icon that I kinda dig.
Not me, they’re some other person with impeccable taste in movies.
Banana phone
A phone with a peel! 🍌 📞
a bad one is bananaphone
Somewhat deeper cut: Rafi - Bathtime. Just try not to hum along once you’ve heard it once!
that has genuine qualities to it. Banana phone is demon spawn made of pure crap.
