My wife keeps singing music from Into the Woods. It’s a fine musical, and I’m a fan of it, but she’s getting the songs such in my head.
I need ammunition to fight back with.
What’s a good song to play that I can’t get stuck in her head?
in honor of spooky season. potatoes and molasses from Over the Garden Wall: https://youtu.be/UXHgc0Hogqs
Sorry to go nuclear on your wife. Make it through the chorus of this song (mmm bop) one time and it’s just about guaranteed earworm. In the words of Mr. Miyagi “If do right, no can defend.”
I’m probably screwed just by thinking of the song to recommend it to you. 😁
Oh, so you’re fucking evil. Noted.
Stuck in my head without even listening.
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they’re gone so fast
There’s a better version
Sandstorm. Always Sandstorm.

Günther - Ding Dong Song
Take this ancient weapon from the 80s:
You could’ve simply type “Jitterbug!” to plant this into our collective brains.
Truly deranged mid-80s wear on display, thanks for the link!
Oooh that’s delightfully sinister love it
Escape - The pina colada song
Pompeii by Bastille. Not so much the song but the day-day-oh, day-oh chant that runs under it.
Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye. It took me years to get rid of it. I am in danger simply talking about it here.
Speaking of Day-oh though, the Banana Boat Song made famous by Harry Belafonte and also its appearance in Beetlejuice is a mid tier earworm. It all depends on how evil you’re feeling.
Edit: 10 imaginary points if you spot what I had to fix.
It’s ‘Eheu!’ and it means some variation of ‘Oh no’ or ‘Alas’ or even ‘Oh shit!’ in Latin.
I should have looked up the lyrics, but eheu, I did not.

…goddammit
LOL. Sucke…
Crap.
If you thought the Gotye version was catchy, the ska-punk cover of Somebody by Half Past Two is even more so. Listen to it at your own peril.
I first saw Walk Off the Earth play it in a single guitar in one take
Somebody once told me

Baby shark do do do-do
I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky, I could be purple, I could be hurtful, I could be anything you like
I’mmmmm saiiiiiling away…
Still Alive from Portal
Dragostea din te (might not be spelling that right but it’s iconic enough that it should pop right up when searched).
Also blue by Eiffel 65, the party rock anthem or crazy frog. No lyrics but still catchy is something like Sandstorm.
I’m so saucy!
