The Cranberries - Zombie really gets stuck in your head. In your hea-ed, in your hea-e-a-ed, zombie, zombie, zombie-eh-eh.

One of the few I can enjoy is Boney M's Daddy Cool. Had to endure it for hours on a trip so I guess I had to enjoy it as a defense mechanism.

Every song is an earthworm to me (I sing or hum constantly) but there are TWO SONGS that TRUMP EVERY SONG and destroy my playlist, playing non-stop for at least a week after I hear them, sometimes just mentioning them is enough. I hate them so much, they are like my nemesis(es).

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

May they be nuked from space.

Watermelon Man by Herbie Hancock

You've undoubtedly heard it before in samples, at least.

I'm on a Watermelon Man kick right now. You should listen to it by Poncho Sanchez. Herbie Hancock is a genius, a modern day miracle, and outside of jazz almost no one knows.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Rattlesnake

I hear this song once, then I hear it in my head for the next week.

I came here to suggest the dripping tap by gizzard, but now all I hear is "rattlesnake" over and over, cheers for that!

I hate that.. Mostly because I can go around for days having a song in my head and can't for the life of me stop getting it off.
