Ear Worm/Web Original
Oh my word, this tune, it's annoying
Now I'm gonna be humming it in my bed.
Yes I know, it's really annoying
I can't get this song out of my head.
Make it stop, this tune, it's annoying
I gotta go to work in the morning
Song brought to you by da interwebs (YouTube in particular). You might notice most of these are Stupid Statement Dance Mix.
Jonti Picking (a.k.a. The Weebl)
Jonti Picking (aka Weebl, creator of Weebl and Bob) is one of the main producers of catchy tunes on the web:
- Badger Badger Badger... MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!
- Alternatively, this EGS version
- Or... a more magical version
- And then there's the Narbonic version:
- Everyone loves Magical Trevor...
- Magical Trevor has now been rewritten by Jonti to star in a UK Directory Enquiries advert. This lurker fell about laughing when she heard her father singing it in the kitchen. She finds it less funny now it's been in her head all week.
- I've seen things, I've seen them with my eyes...
- I GOT A BIG BAG O' CRABS HERE...
- Weebl eventually lampshaded this with annoying.
- I love the Internet, it is fun...
- Narwhals, narwhals, swimmin' in the ocean...
- Hot tamale, hot hot tamale, hot tamale, hot hot...
- This is a song, it's a song about chutney! Chutney, chutney, chutney chutney! Chutney is a tasty sauce...
- Baby Baboon, it's a Baby Baboon, oh it's a Baby Baboon, it's a Baby Baboon...
- Pork! It's the meat of kings...
- Everyone is fond of owls
- pandas are the cucumbers enemy
- Where can you find lions?
- of course there's a subversion, too.
- Mango! Mango! Mango mango! Mango! Mangoooooooo!!
- Lookit mah horse. Mah horse iz amazin'.
- Flying! Squir~rels!
- Steven Fry, National Treasure! Looking out the window of his loft at niight!
- Scotch egg, it's the egg from Scotland...
- Dugong, dugong, it's the cow of the sea-hee-hee!
- I, I broke into your room. I hope you don't mind. You probably do.
- This is the sound of the future, it's music made by robots. [dead link]
- We are Russian Dancing Men. Oh yes! We're Russian Dancing Men! [dead link]
Then there's his fictional band Savlonic:
- Here he is, the Electro Gypsy. In his caravan, he's a future man.
- Tiny Japanese Girl. You're my, Tiny Japanese Girl. [dead link]
- Forgiiiiiiiive my wandering eye... The lyrics are a lot more literal than they are at first glance.
Joel Veitch (Rathergood)
- We like the moooon / 'cause it is very high...
- Who's that man with the soup on his head?
- I'm gonna flip out / Like a ninja / 'Cause that's what ninjas do
- I'm glad that I'm not soluble, that would be quite bad...
- Oh, I'm looking for my leopard... Where can he be?
- Who's winning? We're all winning!
- Would you like to look at my potato? / It just sits there being a potato
The Brothers Chaps (Homestar Runner)
- From a well hidden directory on an obscure companion website, we have "So whatcha got to say, hey hey hey hey!"
- I said come on Fhqwhgads, I said come on Fhqwhgads! Everybody to the limit, everybody to the limit, everybody come on Fhqwhgads!
- The system is down! DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE, DOO-DA-DOO-DA-DIDDLE
- These peoples try to fade me!
- TROGDOR! TROGDOR! And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIGHT!
- "Heart of a lion, and the wings of a bat, Because it's midnite!"
- Ballad of The Sneak.
- "Oh, yeah, you gotta do the best you can, and work out twice a day! Don't ask me why I said it, Because I already forgot!"
- Today is all right for tonight! Ridin' in a Corvette, and feelin' all right!
- "Experimental Film" by They Might Be Giants, video by Strong Sad & The Cheat.
- Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three...
- From Teen Girl Squad: A port-o-john came to life, Put on a play with So and So. Unfortunately, they didn't get very good reviews.
- Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy...
- Putt-putt, go carts, bungee-jumpin'! Crack Stuntman keeps the bass pumpin'!
- One two, one two, one two, one two...
- "Listen up straight, y'all biscuitheads, I'd like a piece o' dry toast wit' two scrambled eggs! Order o' hash browns, make 'em extra crisps, A glass o' orange juice an' a bowl o' cheese grits!"
- From Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People: "Please stop trying to handle my style..."
- "Peacey P back on the mic again, getting paid to rhyme with Scandinavians..."
- The Cheat, where you goin' to? And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do?
- It's the loading screen... (Yes, they made an Ear Worm about load screens. And it's awesome.)
Little Kuriboh
- The rap battle between Yugi and Jaden (Shady Vox)
- Joey's version of the James Bond theme
- Naruto's punching song from the "Curse Of The Internet Drama"
- B-B-B-Brooklyn Rage B-B-Brooklyn Rage! Nyeh Nyeh Nyeh Nyeh
- ME AND BAKURA, WE WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE, HIM AND ME WILL TAKE YOUR LEAAA-THER PAAAA-AAAANTS... The original song is just as catchy, so you'll find youself singing about wanting to have an unhealthy relationship and stealing leather pants which you can't get from Gap at the same time...
The rest
It's time to do what has to be done by me and face FULL LIFE CONSEQUENCES (Full life consequences!)
- Non-YouTube example: the theme song to "The Show"—now the official GameFAQs podcast (registered on iTunes and everything.) The full version can be found here; a much shorter version plays at the beginning and end of each episode.
- "Dragostea Din Tei", AKA "The Numa Numa song". Even if you don't sing Romanian, be prepared to sing "Numa Numa iei!" all day long.
- It also has South African parodies, a Japanese spin-off done by a drag queen and his actual female buddies, and a Korean love song about a romance between a younger man and an older woman.
- It's even worse (better?) when you realize that YouTube happens to have Dragostea Din Tei in Vietnamese, ((BROKEN))Mandarin, Indonesian... not to mention English, and some sort of Spanish parody version. Oh, and the Opera version. Heck, add in the live versions and you could play The Numa Numa song for a good hour without ever once repeating a version.
- The Spanish parody is ((BROKEN))"Pluma Gay" ("gay feather").
- Youtube also boasts a Hebrew versiion
- This troper's parents were singing Numa Numa for days after they first saw the video. Whenever she gets it stuck in her head, she just remembers the way their version sounds.
- And just when you thought the meme was over, TI comes out with the rap song "Live Your Life," which is based around a "Dragostea" sample. At the time this troper posts this, it's currently in the top 10. It just never ends!
- This troper bought the O-Zone CD solely from Dragostea Din Tei, and now regularly gets their other songs (and solo efforts) stuck in her head. (Just try not to sing along to Crazy Loop!)
- The introductory line (which goes, very roughly tranliterated, "Ma-i-ya-hee, ma-i-ya-hah, ma-i-ya-hee, ma-i-ya-hah hah") is an earworm in its own right.
- The sheer effectiveness of this particular Ear Worm is demonstrated by Two Lumps here.
- And if you want an epic orchestral version with opera singers for a change, there's this one here done by Waldemar Malicki, a Polish pianist and a comedian.
- The song was used in a teaser trailer for Chicken Little. The funny part comes years later when Jay Sean records a Suspiciously Similar Song version of "Dragostea" called "Down" with lyrics referencing Chicken Little.
- "Ievan Polkka" (Finnish for "Ieva's Polka"), particularly the version performed by Louituma, made internet-famous by the equally hypnotic Leekspin animation. The songs itself is sometimes called "Leekspin."
- Can't forget the Holly Dolly version, either, which even features a lawyer-friendly remake of the Leekspin clip in the background of its music video.
- This troper has heard a Russian version . . .
- Hatsune Miku's Trademark Favorite Food is leeks, so it's inevitable that she has her own version of Leekspin.
- Wrong order. Ievan Polkka caused Miku to have her character item as leeks (caused the whole character item revolution from there).
- "Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, BANANAPHONE!"
- Some Abridged Series use that as a way to explain why characters go mad.
- "I've got a jar of dirt! I've got a jar of dirt!"
- "Why is the rum gone? Why-why is the rum gone?"
- If you stick around to watch the video after getting Rickrolled, the song will never, ever give you up. But it will never let you down...
- Also, if you keep watching the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, eventually you'll get in one little fight and your mom will get scared, then you'll move in with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.
- IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!
- Here's a llama, there's a llama, and another little llama, fuzzy llama, funny llama, llama llama duck.
- ... llama, llama, cheesecake, llama, tablet, brick, potato, llama.
- Llama llama mushroom llama, llama llama duck.
- Half a llama, twice the llama, not a llama, farmer, llama. Llama in a car, alarm a llama, llama, duck.
- Llama llama mushroom llama, llama llama duck.
- And then there's Hank Green's Obama Llama Duck which this troper still sings from time to time
- Some bright light combined it with Doctor Who: Here's a Dalek, there's a Dalek, and a bloody lot of Daleks...
- And there is also The Zuko Song...
- And The Sawyer Song.
- ... llama, llama, cheesecake, llama, tablet, brick, potato, llama.
- Chocolate Rain.
- "Some stay dry, and others feel the pain!"
- Chocolate raaaaaaaain...okay, we'd all better stop here.
- Do NOT listen to Explode or the pimped-out Cherry Chocolate Rain if you fear for your life.
- A particularly sadistic friend of this troper once played that song on a loop for A WHOLE HOUR whilst on a long car journey.
- Thank you for permanently burning this song into my psyche. I'll be taking that Brain Bleach now, kthxbai.
- This is the ultimate showdown, of ultimate destiny...
- MOU IKKAI!(ONE MORE TIME!)
- "He's gonna take you back to the past, to play the shitty games that suck ass..."
- Holiday Clusterf** k, Holiday Clusterf** k...this also qualifies as a musical Crowning Moment of Funny.
- Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn....
- I met you on a Thursday! Friday, took you hoooooome!
- Phelous, oh Phelous....
- Then there are SadPanda's tribute videos. Just try getting "Nostalgia Critic Anthem" out of your head once you've heard it. I dare you.
- ROCK! ROCK! CINEMA SNOB!
- "Yo! My names Benzaie and you know that I'm always kissing guys!"
- The Santa Christ theme (starts at 1:27). "He atoned for all our sins, but he also likes pancakes. He saved puppies from a fire, and he also likes pancakes."
- "Duck tits! Woo hoo!" Seriously, when I heard that five second song in the review for Howard the Duck and couldn't get it out of my head.
- His "I'm so bored" song from his review of Junior. If you find yourself having nothing to do but sit around and wait for something, and you start feeling bored, this song will rise unbidden from your subconscious, and stay with you all through the boredom.
- They're Taking The Hobbits To Isengard!
- And the obligatory 8-bit remix.
- And, on the same note, PO-TA-TOES.
- Snape, Snape, Severus Snape...
- DUMBLEDORE!
- And for Supernatural fans (though it's still fairly new): ((BROKEN))Bobby, Bobby, Booooobby Singer. CASTIEL!
- Teleport to the left. Teleport to the right. Teleport up the stairs, now go to bed, goodnight. Liable to cause brain meltage.
- "Adrien Brody, Adrien Brody! Adrien Brody, Adrien Brody!"
- Draco likes hamsters...
- Bottle fame... bottle fame, bo-bo-bo-bottle fame...
- DUMBLEDORE!
- Airman ga Taosenai, AKA ((BROKEN))I Can't Defeat Air Man.
- While still a Megaman parody, ((BROKEN))this is very different- though still catchy. Warning: gay and pretty NSFW for the lyrics.
- We're gonna die, die, die, Die Hard!
- Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has already become an Ear Worm in the same way Buffy: Once More With Feeling did.
- Especially the main title riff, which this troper hash been singing almost nonstop for over a week.
- Also the "Bad Horse" songs.
- For This Troper, is "Brand New Day".
- This troper went to see We Will Rock You with everyone else in the theatre who has various Queen songs stuck in their head. I left singing Brand New Day.
- Oh, sarcasm, that's original!
- "Slipping" is the sexiest Ear Worm this troper has ever heard. "I bring you pain, the kind you can't suffer quietly/Fire up your brain, remind you inside you're rioting/Society is... slipping."
- And don't forget that little whimper the Asian girl lets out when Dr. Horrible grabs her jaw; it has a somewhat sensual quality. When that song runs through my head, that whimper is reproduced with crystal fidelity.
- Seconded; quite possibly my favourite song from the musical, and certainly the most delightfully evil.
- "Listen close to everybody's heart, and hear that breaking so-o-ound..." Assuming you can hear anything over that song running through your head for the five millionth time.
- "It's not a death ray or an ice beam, that's all Johnny Snow/I just think you need time to know/That I'm the guy to make it real, the feelings you don't dare to feel..."
- "We're gonna pick, pick / Pick, pick, pick it apart / Open it up to find the / Tick, tick, tick of a heart..."
- "Zack is doin' us a little fa-vuh / blessing commentary with his fla-vah / Don't tell him it's a mu-si-cal / or he just might kill us all..."
- "Look at his smallness / compared to my tallness!"
- Also, the Hampster [sic] Dance was one of the most irritating and pervasive ear worms in history. Used for Rickrolling before the Rick Roll was invented, now it's played on children's XM Radio stations.
- It's also a sped-up version of Whistle-Stop, from Disney's Robin Hood. Whistle-Stop is an Ear Worm in its own right.
- Da da de de de da do do, de da de da do...
- ((BROKEN))Indiana Jones & The Song of Theme. This troper had it in her head for days.
- By the same token, this version of the generic James Bond theme.
- "KILL ALL THE SNAAAAAAKES!"
- Though not a widespread one, this troper has to add it. This song about the water cycle (of all things) will instantly be lodged in your brain. For-fucking-ever. If you value your sanity, don't click. ...
Oh, the water cycle, 'round and 'round, vapor goes up and the rain comes down... - Charlie the Unicorn and Charlie The Unicorn 2 each had one of these—the first one with the Candy Mountain song, and the second with "Put a Banana in Your Ear".
- There's also "Big Rock Candy Mountain", a different song about candy mountains. The Areas of My Expertise by John Hodgman sorta ruins it for you, though.
- STARFISH LOVES YOU!
- ((BROKEN))"Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga", a medley of anime and video game songs (many of which are listed as examples themselves). You think having one song stuck in your head is bad? Try thirty at once.
- Any of its descendants (Ryuuseigan, Monogatari, etc) are just as agonizing.
- And then... they made "7 colors of nico nico douga" however, it decedents are catchier in this troper's opinion. like the automatic mario version and ((BROKEN))the hetalia version it also comes in Lucky Star and Vocaloid flavors
- ((BROKEN))He's a cat, flushing a toilet!
- Brought to you by Parry Gripp, the man also responsible for Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom and Do You Like Waffles.
- Baby monkey, baby monkey, riding on a pig, baby monkey..
- Kill the zombies by shooting them in the head!

- The device has been modified.
- PAWNCH! PAWNCH! FALCON PAWNCH!
- Did you ever want to write a novel, a lot of people want to write a book! So sit down and focus cause it's November, and I'm gonna write a freaking book.
- The Mean Kitty Song. This troper personally loves it, but damn if it doesn't stick in your brain for days.
- ((BROKEN))Cat, I'm a kitty cat, and I dance dance dance...
- Any one of Brentalfloss' classic game songs With Lyrics, especially if you have his CD. I will never again listen to the moon theme from DuckTales (1987) without going "Wait Uncle Scrooge, you need a suit up there~!"
- THIS--IS--SPARTAAAAAAAAA! TA-TA TA-TA TA-TA-TA TA TA TA-TA-TAAA AAA A-A-A-A-A!
- ((BROKEN))You're! Too! Slow! You-you-you-you-Y-Y-Y-Y-you're ((BROKEN))too slow! ((BROKEN))You're too slow!
- ((BROKEN))I'll--take a--potato chip...AND EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT!

- Oh it's from the show, it's from the show, from the show, Oh it's from the show, it's from the show, from the show, I'm gonna be on TV, I'm gonna be a TV Star...
- Cap-tain! Jean-Luc-Pic-ard of-the U-S-S, Ent-er-prise! Cap-tain! Jean-Luc-Pic-ard of-the U-S-S, Ent-er-prise!

- Hatsune Miku's version of the Touhou meme "Take It Easy!"

- There's even a male version!
- BAKA BAKA BAKA, naniga kokomade anata wo ugokasu no?
- This troper is listening to this right now at work.
- As long as Bakas are concerned... how can you forget the Mother of All Bakas AKA the Strongest in Gensokyo?
- Odenpa Love Girl
- Cirno's Perfect Math Class, which also has a full version. And then there's Cirno's Perfect Health And Physical Education...
- Less known, also awesome Chiruno! Chiruno! Chiruno!
- Listen to this long enough and it won't leave your head.

- Mario! Wario! Lucario! Also, a prime example of Crosses the Line Twice and Dead Baby Comedy.
- Anything Parry Gripp has made, especially Young Girl Talking About Herself.
- This fake Saturday morning cartoon opening for Watchmen. Yes, those Watchmen. Aside from all the funny little in-jokes, it's also got an extremely catchy tune that will quite happily make a nest in your brain and stay there for quite some time.
- "You must Constuct Additional Pylons! Pylons! Pylons! Pylons! Balls! Pylons! Balls! Pylons! OV-ER-NINE-THOU-SAND! Oh no!" What makes it really stick though, is the polka melody going on in the background.
- ((BROKEN))U Can't Touch Mormon Jesus. It's U Can't Touch This, but with Mormon Jesus.
- A song about Kevin and Kell's first date. In concept, adorable. In practice, unstoppably catchy.

- Antidote: There's a Metal Gear Solid fanvid compilation on Newgrounds that has The Fury skipping along to this and setting fire to everything. You can worry about the earworm if you manage to ever start breathing again.
- There's also this YTMND involving the G-Man from Half Life destroying various things to that tune.
- That "Friday" song by Rebecca Black...
- NanacaCrash has a pretty powerful Earworm song. Sure, it's fairly generic...but that just makes it worse when you start humming it on your bicycle. (Please do not be tempted to ram into people)
