Most likely originated around the time of Hanson's "Mmmbop"; an ear worm refers to any song that is so catchy, and at the same time extremely annoying, that it feels like a worm has crawled into your ear and eaten the intelligent parts of your brain so that you hum the song all day long, no matter how much you hate it.

Get the Ear Wormmug. A song stuck in your head. Came from the German word, "ohrwurm," which means earworm litterally, and a song stuck in the head not litterally.
