Used to describe the event of having a
song stuck in one's
head, often one found annoying, insufferable, and universally loathed.
It serves no other purpose than to occupy one's thoughts, aching to be sung aloud, with the intent of infecting other victims, often to fellow shoppers in places such as grocery stores as no one would willingly choose to listen to a kokomo in
private.
It is known to ruin lives, personally and professionally.
