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?

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
There’s a better version
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
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
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.
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.
…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
someBAWdee
I’mmmmm saiiiiiling away…
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!
Kittyman Sea Shanty by the Trailer Park Boys.
Or Amazing Horse by MrWeebl.
Or perhaps Give That Wolf a Banana by Subwoolfer.
Most things from MrWeebl… And now I’m singing bag full of crabs lol
OH IVE GOT A MOUTHFUL OF CRAAAAABS
It’s ridiculous how much I love it lol
I’VE SEEN THINGS, I’VE SEEN THEM WITH MY EYES
I’VE SEEN THINGS, THEY’RE OFTEN IN DISGUISE…Carrots handbags cheese
Are Eurovision songs allowed? That’s cheating. https://youtu.be/1jSrBdN4b5c
Badger badger badger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI
Baby shark do do do-do
I’m surprised nobody mentioned Yellow Submarine yet. Or the Sesame Street theme. Or Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo.
If you really want to be evil you can also do The 7th Element or Better Off Alone. You have options
You call that Evil? Try the song that never ends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz6OGVCdov8
The worst earworms are when you dont really know the words. If you dont have kids I recommend Danny Go.
Danny Go is so weird because it sets off all of my kids slop sensors but it’s actually pretty decent. Gets the kids moving, it’s generally fine content wise, doesn’t overdo the cuts between shots or have too much going on on screen to destroy the kids’ attention span, but my gosh its stylized like so many slop channels I have to double-take every time
Yeah it rubbed me that way at first for sure. Ive come around, though. From what i understand they started it for their son, who recently passed.
The “hyper” videos drive me nuts but hey, can’t really fault them for finding a way to make money off the same thing twice I suppose.
Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama
These 3 are classics that get burned into my brain

Tub Ring did a cover of Prisencolinensinainciusol that’s pretty awesome.
a bad one is bananaphone
Somewhat deeper cut: Rafi - Bathtime. Just try not to hum along once you’ve heard it once!
that has genuine qualities to it. Banana phone is demon spawn made of pure crap.
Mmbop
Easy, Satan.
