Don Quijote earworm

Named after a Japanese retail store known for its jingle titled "Miracle Shopping", this slang term refers to the earworm cause by hearing the in-store jingle on loop for hours on end. This slang tem is derived from the "Don Quijote phenomenon", which refers to retail stores like Yodobashi Camera or Bic Camera using jingles to entice consumers, encouraging them to spend more money there. Please note that the "Don Quijote phenomenon", while uncommon in the West, is also commonly shown in Indonesia where retail stores like Giant, Indomaret, and Alfamart also have their own jingles.
After spending two hours in Don Quijote, I left with a bag full of snacks and that jingle stuck in my headdefinitely suffering from a serious Don Quijote earworm!

The in-store jingle played on loop for hours on end makes me end up being some sort of "Don Quijote".

Hong Kong Don

Any man from Hong Kong that took the risk of pursuing his true passion regardless of what society expected from him, successfully earning a full-time income and eventually securing financial wealth purely from living his dreams, elevating his own lifestyle and taking care of his family during the process. A man that overcame countless hardships and obstacles to escape the rat race and live a life of success and freedom on his own terms, accumulating not only a substantial amount of money but also unanimous respect and a loyal following from being himself.

He has developed iron grit and sharp instincts from decades of surviving in the concrete jungle known as Hong Kong, allowing him to manifest anything he puts his mind to. A trilingual tongue of native Cantonese, English and Mandarin from a local upbringing makes him a force to be reckoned with in any professional setting. His boundless energy and drive is powered by the soul and blood of an ancient dragon within him. His ambition and power comes from the wrath of his ancestors who went through lifetimes of pain and struggle for him to exist, a weight that he carries with ease on his way to the top of the world.
That man been getting to the bag, he a Hong Kong Don for sure.

Don Henley

If you look up "Killjoy" in the dictionary, this guy will pop up.
Don Henley is known for two things: Being the drummer and primary lead vocalist for the Eagles, and for having a massive stick up his ass when it comes to people covering songs that he wrote. The total number of copyright strikes on YouTube that he is responsible for is probably close to the total number of records the Eagles have sold.
