An earworm, sometimes known as a brainworm, is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing. Phrases used to describe an earworm include musical imagery repetition, involuntary musical imagery, and stuck song syndrome.
The word earworm is a calque from the German Ohrwurm and was, according to Oliver Sacks, first used in the 1980s. The phenomenon is common and should not be confused with palinacousis, a rare medical condition caused by damage to the temporal lobe of the brain that results in auditory hallucinations.
Have an earworm? You've come to the right place ! I created this thread so that people can share their earworms and favorite songs. ^^ So, I woke up with this song in my head, one from my favorite band Matchbox Twenty.  It aptly describes the mood of someone who has to face a crisis. Their songs always brighten up my day. ^^ ( lyrics)

Uncle Ger, that song is so silly ! I recognised Putin right away XD Since nobody else is posting, here is my yesterday's earworm from another one of my favorite groups, Icelandic "Of Monsters and Man". They sang a track from my favorite movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I think I will read the book that movie was based on, because from the movie, his secret life seems similar to mine.

I have wanted to go to Iceland since highschool... I am almost ashamed to say it, but it is because of a Tom Clancy book. Russia invades Iceland (in a world war 3 sort of scenario) to capture the American airbase and wrest control of the Atlantic from NATO forces... ANYWHO, Tom Clancy painted a wonderful image of the Icelandic countryside as a group of soldiers fled the invaders, which inspired research and a fondness for the country. Eventually, I developed the idea to move there and open a paintball field near the airport and cater to tourists. (Obviously, this never came through)
ANYWHO
Here is my earworm, in response to yours. I cannot recall where I first saw this, but it made me feel fuzzy, inside.

I loaded the RO BGM files up in an audio player.... I mute the in-game music and just listen to that. Simply a matter of variety. That said.... As I do not have internet access at my apartment, for the time being, I have been listening to the BGM just for the heck of it.... That's a lie... It is because I want to play "Marshmallow Waltz" has been a fun song  |

Posting my earworm before I head to sleep xD This one's a classic, "On The Street Where You Live" from the musical My Fair Lady, sung by the great Nat King Cole. Lyrics |

EDIT (because this needs explaining)
So, years ago, after watching an Adam Sandler movie (I believe it was Little Nicky) I kind of started saying this, from time to time.
Recently, while a friend was going through a rough patch, linking this vid to him was the best thing I could think of to lift his spirits (it helped)
Now, when I get down on myself or just generally need a giggle, I think of or watch this vid.
While not a proper song, it is an audio bite that has gotten lodged in the ol' grey.
It was this or Bawitdaba (came up on my ipod this morning)
