What are your current ear worms?
If you don't have any right now what are some of your past favorites?
Also does it help to listen to the actual song that is playing in your head or do you feel like it makes it worse and it is harder to get it out of your head?

Yes, having a song stuck in my head makes me want to listen to it.

I feel like it stops the urge once you finally listen to it and hear it in it's entirety.
My current ear worm is Camila Cabello's I luv It. Already posted about it in the what you listening to thread.
The husband was listening to this yesterday on some mix playlist and it was in my head for like five hours earlier today.
This is my current one. I feel like I randomly heard it in a commercial recently and now I have to listen to the entire song.

Yeah this has been all over top 40 radio here, and it's definitely gotten in my head too.
A good earworm never dies, but is always ready to infect a new user, amirite?
This one comes courtesy of songwriters Bacharach/David, and a little girl who, years ago, was on the bus seat in front of me. She was small enough to be standing on the seat rather than sitting, so I got the full benefit of her limited repertoir: she clearly loved this song, but only knew the opening line, which she sang on a repetitive loop for so long that it worked its way from her head to mine, and now it's waiting to get into your head too:-
Here are the words you'll need:-

My latest earwig I've already posted someplace else, but here it is again:
I can feel myself slowly coming off it, though 😄 I hope I can find a good replacement.
Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy
Olivia Newton-John - Xanadu
In fact the whole album is pretty fucking great.
These are pretty old songs.
Whenever I get new headphones/speakers, this is my initial test run

For me it's Donald Fagen's classic track IGY 😄
I read somewhere that the album (The Nightfly) was so well made that people back in the day had used it to calibrate stereos and other equip. Since I love that song and know every inch of it, I started doing it too.
F.ex. I know how much bass it should have (roughly a touch less than you'd really prefer) and so I can use that to quickly dial in the right level on my sub.
The commercial that used to sell those compilation cds in the 90s made this song just randomly pop into my head.
Similar to Sarah Mclaughlin in the arms of an angel.

Was it this one, by any chance? Definitely one of those commercials that was burned into my brain.

Lol I need to put together a pure moods playlist. I feel like I would appreciate this more as an adult as opposed to when I heard it
This is my favorite "Mood". And I'd even consider it to be an earworm after a few listens.
The theme song of intrusive thoughts and sleep paralysis goblins
I catch myself humming this randomly through out the day. Way too catchy.

Yeah, this is the one lol. The mister has also been singing it randomly around the house. All he has to do is sing it once or twice around breakfast time and it's in my head permanently until he leaves for work and I put on different music, haha.
I love Deerhoof so much. One of those bands that's been a favourite for years in a quiet way, they never come to mind when I think about the bands I love but I keep coming back to them; they've released a whole bunch of albums, every now and then you listen to one you haven't heard yet, and they always go hard
I have no idea why, but "Wooly Bully" was stuck in my head all day.
Gods, I don't want wooly bully in my brain 😅

Nice! I've never heard them before, but this was really fun!
Yes, DJ, that Orinoco Flow song is a total earworm !

^ :laughing: That's what I thought at first, but took the risk anyway. I discovered the song has a couple of details I never noticed before: it is, after all, a little more than just the chorus repeated ad infinitum, which is what I remembered it being.
Lucky for me that in my head, Sam the Sham has been rudely shoved out of the spotlight and away from the microphone by Cyndi Lauper:-
I was in my friend's car and he was listening to the radio when this cane on. It has become an earworm for me.
