July 11, 2007 Urban Word of the Day
A song that sticks in your mind, and will not leave no matter how much you try.
The best way to get rid of an earworm is to replace it with another. Be prepared to become a jukebox. worst examples: "Mmmbop" by Hanson, "Toxic" by Britney Spears, "Quit Playin Games With My Heart" by Backstreet Boys, or any damn Hilary Duff song.
best examples: "This Love" Maroon 5, "Hey Ya" Outkast, "Memory" Sugarcult, and any Lauryn Hill song. |

A song with an 'addictive' element (hook, melody, lyric) that draws people into listening multiple times. Song doesn't have to be good or bad, it just needs to have that 'addictive' element. 'Hey Ya' is frontrunner for earworm of the year, Outkast shouldn't make such addictive songs :D.

|
A song that won't go away, and gets stuck in your head. Makes you want to tear your ears out; unfortunately, deafness can't cure it because it's in there for good. Oh, I don't know... "Seasons in the Sun", "Muskrat Love", "Lovefool"...

| 4. | earworm | ||
|
A song or tune that continues playing inside one's head, often to the intense annoyance of the particular head concerned. The song/tune will typically be of the hooky variety, making it easy to absorb and remember on just one or two hearings. Unfortunately for sufferers, it is often the most trite and irritating parasites (i.e. melodies) which attach to the host ear...
Etymology: This was first coined, I believe, in Germany. The german translation is "Ohrwurm". "Oh shit! I've got this earworm in my head and it's playing Kylie songs!"
Or, in German: "Scheisse! Ich bin ein Ohrwurm!" |

1) a catchy song that gets stuck in your head a lot.

The name "Earworm" comes from the definition described in 1). "Like, OMG Baby" is an epic earworm by DJ Earwom! However, "Whip My Hair" is also.
