The song Can’t Get You Out of My Head was a global hit for Kylie Minogue in 2001, and never was a song more aptly named. It was the object of Kylie’s affection that she couldn’t get out of her head, but the song itself got stuck inside so many of us at the time. It became one of the biggest ear worms ever.
An ear worm is a song so catchy it plays like a loop in our heads and can’t easily be forced out. Songwriters try to create catchy, memorable tunes that become as familiar to us as old friends, that we’ll always welcome into our hearing. But sometimes a song is just too memorable, its hooks and melodies too catchy, and so, an ear worm is born.
Queen, Pharrel Williams, Lady Gaga, Meghan Trainor, Final Countdown, Gangnam Style, and more. Tune in for some great ear worms.
