The problem with an earworm is that it starts out as a good song. But then it gets lodged in your brain and slowly becomes torturous. I’ve got an earworm right now, and it’s a bad one:

If even that doesn’t work, I’ll have to get out the super special secret anti-earworm weapon:
This will not only clear out all other earworms, it will burrow into your brain and be there for the rest of your life, only emerging at odd moments – like when you’re alone late at night, or when the police come for you.
But until then, I guess I’m all about that bass.
