2. (earworm) (146↑, 53↓)
A song with an 'addictive' element (hook, melody, lyric) that draws people into listening multiple times. Song doesn't have to be good or bad, it just needs to have that 'addictive' element.

'Hey Ya' is frontrunner for earworm of the year, Outkast shouldn't make such addictive songs :D.

3. (earworm) (100↑, 49↓)
A song that won't go away, and gets stuck in your head. Makes you want to tear your ears out; unfortunately, deafness can't cure it because it's in there for good.

Oh, I don't know... "Seasons in the Sun", "Muskrat Love", "Lovefool"...

4. (earworm) (38↑, 11↓)
A song or tune that continues playing inside one's head, often to the intense annoyance of the particular head concerned. The song/tune will typically be of the hooky variety, making it easy to absorb and remember on just one or two hearings. Unfortunately for sufferers, it is often the most trite and irritating parasites (i.e. melodies) which attach to the host ear... Etymology: This was first coined, I believe, in Germany. The german translation is "Ohrwurm".

"Oh shit\! I've got this earworm in my head and it's playing Kylie songs\!" Or, in German: "Scheisse\! Ich bin ein Ohrwurm\!"

8. (Earworm) (40↑, 74↓)
(N.) A terrible song usually made by a terrible artist that despite it's awfulness, seems to be catchy enough to get stuck in your head until the point you can't get it out. You soon start to hum it all the time, even if you don't like it and may even eventually get used to it. Earworms usually last anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks (based on how often the song plays) and occur about every other month. Examples: [Britney Spears]: "Toxic", [J-Ho]: "Jenny From The Block", and any [Justin Timberlake] song after 2002.

[Hey Ya] isn't an Earworm. It's just a damn catchy song\! [Toxic], now that's an Earworm\! Despite Britney's terrible singing voice, the hot, secret-agent like beat will turn it into an Earworm.
