"A literal translation of the German Ohrwurm, is a term for a song stuck in one's head, particularly an annoying one. Use of the English translation was introduced by James Kellaris, an associate professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati. His studies appeared to demonstrate that different people have varying susceptibilities to earworms, but that almost everybody has been afflicted at some time or another."One popular earworm you may be familiar with is Lambchop's "This is the Song That Never Ends." I can tell you are already singing it (...It just goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was... and they'll continue singing it forever just because... This is the song that never ends...). Oh, the pain. Well, based off of the popular Badger Badger Badger meme there is the new and improved Harry Potter Potter Potter. Enjoy and you can thank me later. (via MetaFilter)
