Ok, maybe Mahna Mahna isnt EVIL. It’s actually kinda cute. But it WILL get stuck in your head. It’s been stuck in mine for maybe 6 months now. For evil: “We Built This City” by Starship ---

If you want evil, cheesy earworms, then you need to go Disco. YMCA by the Village People, “Bad Girls” or “On the Radio” by Donna Summer, most any BeeGees song\*, or “Copacabana” by Barry Manilow. They’re almost 100% pure evil. - what I used to get “Toot Sweets” out of my head, damnyouall. ---
