hard drive

An object mounted inside a computer that holds data. Not to be confused with the computer itself, the hard drive in the average desktop computer is made of metal and is about the size of a mass-market paperback book.

earworm

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"...
