I’m fond of [this one](http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp?ID=1574&NEXTID=0&PREVID=1586&DISPLAYORDER=20040908152411&CAT=anims&NSFW=). And it sticks in the head for a long while. The video’s somewhat not worksafe (some ascii images of girls in their (non-sexy) underwear, and one questionable moment with a dog (also ascii - the whole video is)), but for the most part inoffensive. ---

I think part of why it’s so earworm-y is her voice – it’s very pleasant and easy to listen to. Makes me think that I’d like to hear her sing something in English sometime. 🙂 But that damn llama song will stay with me, too… ---
