Try this one from the Muppet Show: the Shel Silverstein song, “You’re always welcome at our house”, sung by Marisa Berenson. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCJD1lMZ8wA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCJD1lMZ8wA) I didn’t think it was particularly earwormish while I was watching the episode a few days ago, but it kept running through my head for a long time. And now I’ve started it up again. Sigh. ---

Once Leonard Cohens “closing time” ran through my head for days. I even woke up to it playing, and I remembered hearing it in my sleep. Thats ok, I love that song. (Its not very earwormish, dont worry) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xUtPHJHe8es/hqdefault.jpg "Closing Time - - - Leonard Cohen") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUtPHJHe8es) ---

I can beat anyone for “stupidest earworm”. Once, knowing my love for old cartoons, Mom gave me one of those compilation DVDs, mostly terrible stuff. I got the _Little Lulu_ theme song so stuck in my head I thought I’d go insane- I’d wake up with the thing playing. It was horrible.
