Worst earworm ever

Despacito.

It's driving me bonkers because, of course, I don't know the actual lyrics so all I have going around in my head is burritos, doritos and mojitos in a loop.

Send help.

There actually is a version:
Despacito, I don't know the words so I say Mojito, I don't know the words so I say burrito etc etc. That's what we sing in our house.

I almost don't want to type it in case it comes back but recently I heard Spice Girls 'stop right now' and it got stuck for a week, I hated it at the time and hated its comeback in my brain.

Something really awful from the 1970s about Luton airport

HRTQueen · 26/10/2025 13:22

Uptown Girl
Rhythm of the Night (particularly as only three lines from the song play over and over)

The opening theme for Waffle the Wonder Dog

There's a really annoying Pepto Bismol advert on Prime Video

Nausea
Heatburn
in-di-ges-tion
Upset stomach
Di-ar-reah

I've had it in my head since about Tuesday

Yes! It’s awful but hey the marketing men have done their job. The commercial has made us remember the product .

I've had Robbie Williams Party Like a Russian as a recurring earworm for years. It goes away for a while then I remember it and back it comes. It's active at tge minute, this latest bout has been about a month now.

I've got molly and stolly and bolly so I'm jolly and I'm always off my head so I never say sorry, doll inside a doll inside a doll-ol-ly
....argh!!!!

(I actually think it's a great slice of fun obnoxious pop, just not fun having it on constant loop in my head"

I've got Grandson here so have got the theme tune to Paw Patrol in my head. But I sing 'Paw patrol, paw patrol stinky in their nappies, paw patrol paw patrol they are really crappy'
Grandson not impressed with my version

That sounds very much like my version 😁

I was bothered by "There's no-one quite like Grandma" this morning. Hope it doesn't come back.

Aintgointogoa · 26/10/2025 18:24

I am not a 'Swiftie' but I do really like her and yes she does write very catchy pop songs. When I discuss a problem with a friend we usually end up singing 'Shake it Off'. BUT I have had flipping 'Ophelia' as an earworm for at least 2 weeks and it is driving me INSANE ! I keep trying to 'snag' a new earworm but it's not working. 🫨

MayaPinion · 26/10/2025 18:28

Golden by Huntrix from K Pop Demon Hunters. It’s driving me nuts. The worst bit is that it is sung by 3 insanely talented artists that I sound like utter shite!

CharlieKirkRIP · 26/10/2025 18:30

Umbrella ella ella.

Hideous vocals and song.

Funnily enough I saw this on Top of the Pops yesterday. Isn't the singer Viv from Emmerdale or something?

LuckyBitches · 26/10/2025 19:01

The Nolans: I'm in the Mood for Dancing. I had that in my head for about a year, it loops round and round.

It was Lorraine Chase who sang this.

She played Stephanie, Alan Turner’s daughter, and was a nasty piece of work!
