I never knew there was a term for this.

"Earworm is a term for a portion of a song or other musical material that repeats compulsively within one's mind, known colloquially as "music being stuck in one's head"."

Anyone have a particularly good example, something that you often get stuck in your head? I just flicked over to Glasto, and I think Blur's "Girls and Boys" is probably a common one.

I have loads of songs that are earworms. At the moment any Saturdays/Britney/PCD song is an earworm for me.
