Writer's Block: The Wrath of Ohrwurm

German has a word for everything, like ohrwurm. Translated literally as "earworm" in English, it's the word for songs that get stuck in your head and won't go away. What earworm of a song do you most dread burrowing into your head?

It's hard to say really as there are a lot of songs that I like that get stuck in my head all the time. I work in a manufacturing facility where I am allowed to listen to my radio at pretty much full blast (it's noisy in there) but I make sure to either turn down the volume or bugger off to the bathroom when do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight... or that's the way uh huh I like it uh huh uh huh comes on the airwaves. I don't necessarily hate these songs but I tire of them fairly quick into the melody. I also loathe I would do anything for love but I won't do that. Dude sounds like he's ready to croak as well as what in the hell is he talking about here? I find it too damn vague for my taste as I like to be able to relate to the lyrics. I also hate anything that reminds me of my bastard ex boyfriend. Now he used to play shit I hated from the get and I am grateful I never have to hear it again. Hallelujah! Praise The Lord!
