Ever have a song stuck in your head? Maybe it's a song you like -- maybe you hate it. Maybe you love to hate it?
I seem to have one every day. In fact, every day when I wake, I'm humming something all morning long. The possibilities are across all genres: kids music, vidya game music, classical, country. Whatever. I've been wanting to make this thread for a while but never got around to it because usually my mornings are so packed, by the time I have a free moment the music has stopped.
But this morning, I have a moment and it's still going through my head so I'll start with this one:

My daughter recently finished Undertale and we've been talking about it a lot, so as a result all the songs have been going through my head again.
Do you have an earworm today? What is it? Is there a story behind why it's stuck in your head? Do you love it? Do you hate it? Share your earworms!

Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light-
(Thanks Niko for requesting to hear this nearly every day for the past two months)
Luckily there are a couple of cover artists who cover a ton of game/anime openings whose music is available on Apple Music, so I don’t have to resort to pulling up YouTube to hear it.
You're toxic, I’m slippin’ under...
What's that from anyway? (Looks like anime to me. Are you seriously subjecting your kids to anime?!?)
They get Pokémon and Dinosaur King, if those count!
No, it’s the theme from Super Smash Bros Ultimate. I specifically have this cover version on my phone:
All in all I consider this a pretty good thing.
Also, does anyone else get whole albums stuck in their head? Like, you'll have a song in your head, and then once it's played through, the next song in its album gets stuck in there, and so on. Happens to me all the time.
Not usually with other genres. And in fact with the kids music it often just one line. Again and AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Edit: ahhh fuck perrsun, now you got that going through my head and I didn't even click on the video. Noooooo I was enjoying Bonetrousle.
Eventually I pulled up several Spotify lists of top tracks of the past couple years and quickly skimmed through any that weren't already familiar until I found it.
who would have thought a French remix of an Australian funk song would be so hard to track down?

Like this song.
Well, I had a unique answer, but now your answer has overridden it.
That song is basically psychological warfare.

One time at a wedding reception I let slip to my 9-year-old cousin that I've never actually heard this song.
She then proceeded to sing for me the entire song word-for-word.
I'm not sure if they were, like, the standard lyrics or anything, but the version she sang was hilariously violent towards the end. That combined with how happy she looked singing it, I couldn't stop laughing for like five minutes.
Must not...
Don't want to be humming for the rest of the day.
I haven't listened to a lot of music lately, so only really old songs I memorized back in the day and no one plays anymore ever play in my head.
Holy shit, maybe this wasn't a good idea. (but at least I have no current earworm of my own...)
and @Fearghaill , I've been wondering about that song for years too!

I love that song though, so it's not a bad thing!

I’ve been singing this with the guys I work with most of today.
"It's impossible to get Puff the Magic Dragon stuck in your head," he'd say. "It's like a palate cleanser for the brain."
Unfortunately, I did not find this to be true.
GET OUT OF MY CLOUD!
oh, music, right...

I gotta say, I never thought you'd be the person to post something that unexpectedly activated my gag reflex
