This is the song that doesn't end... It goes on and on in one's head.
"Ear Worms" (from the German phrase Ohrwurm) are those songs that weasel their way into one's head like uninvited guests and then proceed to stink up the inside of one's cranium by playing themselves there over. And over. And over. And over. They're those songs that just get stuck in one's head, and no amount of screaming, pounding, protesting, and banging one's head into one's desk will get them out. They will check out any time one likes, but they will never leave.
This phenomenon is well-known in Real Life, so it's no wonder it frequently comes up in fiction as well.
Characters infected with an Ear Worm may find themselves prone to bursting out into the song in inappropriate places and shown liking the tune because it's irresistibly catchy. They can end up distracted in the middle of conversation (or other important activities) by the continuous snatches of song wavering between their ears. However, soon they'll be profoundly annoyed by it and tugging at their ears in fury. And it's only a matter of time before, like Darryl Revok, they drill a hole in their forehead to let the voices out.
Sub-Trope of Inner Monologue. Ear Worms are frequently the tool used to produce Psychic Static. Especially powerful ones can also serve as a Brown Note. If the repetitive music that is the cause of someone's woes is not just in memory but ongoing, it's Incessant Music Madness. Could be sung or played by an Annoyingly Repetitive Child.
Not to be confused with the mind-warping parasites from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan or mind-controlling parasites from Animorphs or Earwig in Real Life.
Although many of us have had experiences with Ear Worms, please stick to listing examples where a song's catchiness is commented on or demonstrated in-universe. Describing what makes a song catchy is almost impossible for most people who aren't music theory experts, meaning that the odds of subjective examples being Zero-Context Examples are extremely high (as was the case with a past version of this trope). Not to mention that calling a song annoying from an out-of-universe perspective could be Complaining About Shows You Don't Like.

Finding Nemo invokes both this and Disney movies Award Bait Songs when Dory starts singing an obvious parody of such a song. "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming...". It becomes a Cerebus Retcon in Finding Dory when it was revealed her parents made up that song to help encourage her to keep moving on.

Lamb Chop's Play-Along with Shari Lewis, Lamb Chop and Hush Puppy: it used "This Is the Song That Never Ends" (a.k.a. "This Is The Song That Doesn't End") as the closing theme. It's a recursive ear worm, so you can't even get rid of it by singing it all the way through... Any kid who grew up in the '90s has been annoyed by some kid on their camp bus starting a sing-a-long with this song, as well as "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves". Worse, if you were a camp counselor in the '90s and they started a sing-a-long and you had to try to get them to shut up. You can not call yourself an American if you don't know this song. Lampshaded on the show itself, in which Shari Lewis cries out in horror when people begin to sing it, and then sends them away so she doesn't have to hear it anymore.

Channel Awesome:
The Cinema Snob has a hard time stopping his leg from moving with the music of Nudist Colony of the Dead (which, as its name certainly doesn't hint, is a freaking musical).
The Nostalgia Chick:
During the review on Guilty Pleasure songs, "Tik Tok" by Kesha and "You Belong with Me" by Taylor Swift have a bad effect on the Nostalgia Chick.
And, although she absolutely despises The Little Mermaid, she (and every other woman associated with the site) WILL sing "Part of Your World" once the ball gets rolling.
The Nostalgia Critic:
The Critic's "Top 11 Catchiest Theme Songs" video is entirely about this trope. At the end, he gets extremely agitated while urging the viewers to warn people about these songs and not let them hear any — especially DuckTales (woo-oo!).
He complains about catchy song for shows he doesn't like every now and then (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Captain Planet and the Planeteers) and even sings "Good luck getting this theme song out of your head..." over the Jurassic Park theme.
In the "Willy Wonka vs. Charlie" video, the Critic also mentions that the "Willy Wonka" song from the most recent movie kept torturing people for months after seeing it.
In his review of one of his own movies, To Boldly Flee, he warns, "Good luck getting this fucking song out of your head for the next two weeks," before playing a clip of the movie in which the distraction song is sung. After the clip, the Critic adds, "Actually, if you look at the back of your DVD case, you will find there's an extra recording of DuckTales just to help you out with that."
The trope is directly mentioned in a sketch parodying the Witches' song from Hocus Pocus.
Todd in the Shadows:
Todd discusses this trope reviewing Chris Brown's "Deuces". However, he calls the song an "Ear Snail" because it's slow, gross, and completely forgettable.
He also says that Katy Perry's "E.T." fails to be catchy, particularly regarding the anemic beat. But Todd ends up with FloRida's "Whistle" stuck in his head, leading to self-immolation trying to stop it. And in return plants "Friday" on Linkara's head.
A One Hit Wonderland episode has That Dude in the Suede saying how unfortunate that since 1998, the common New Zealand phrase "How Bizarre" can't be heard in those islands without a Spanish guitar playing in everyone's heads afterwards.
Another One Hit Wonderland, "Funkytown", is downright described as an earworm in the episode description, has Todd doing an Imagine Spot of a scavenger After the End singing to the song's tune, and in the end he says "now I'm gonna beat my skull with a hammer in hopes of removing this song from my brain!"

Fallout: Nuka Break: The advertising jingle "By Mennen!" is pretty much the only thing from pre-apocalypse society that Ben (a ghoul) hasn't lost to The Fog of Ages, a testament to its tenacity as an ear worm. Although he can't remember what it was used for, leading the group to eventually decide that it was some sort of religious expression, and they start saying "by Mennen" the way one would say "by God".

In Cromartie High School, the characters desperately try to remember the name of a song that is completely stuck in their heads, after one of them hears Mechazawa hum it in the bathroom. In the anime, they hum it in unison by the end of the episode and still can't name it. The song was "Ningen Nante", by the guy who does the main theme of the series. Notably, it seems that it wasn't Mechazawa who started this. At the beginning of the episode, we see him at a concert with Freddie singing to a guitar instrumental played by Gorilla. When you put two and two together, the guitar part serves as a basis for "Ningen Nante". So he wound up with the song in his head, felt like going around humming it, and it spread through the school like an infection.

In the Robotboy episode "Traffic Slam", Tommy and his friends sing a song to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" called "I Know a Song That Gets on Everybody's Nerves", over and over, while they're stuck in traffic. You get the impression that they're doing it just to annoy Tommy's dad (it works).

In the White Collar episode "Most Wanted", Peter keeps singing a catchy little song set to "London Bridge". Mozzie speculates that this is a weapon developed by the federal government for psychological torture by Ear Worm.

The Simpsons has: "Duff beer for me, Duff beer for you, I'll have a Duff, You'll have one too..." (repeat ad nauseam). For Massive Damage, it's set to a tune very similar to "It's a Small World". What's worse, it's the "jackpot" music on multiple versions of the Simpsons-licenced Fruit Machines. Winning £5 has never been this annoying...

A running gag in Inside Out is that a jingle from a chewing gum commercial is a recurring one of these for Riley. This is shown as being the result of two "mind workers" pranking Riley's emotions by sending a memory of the jingle up to Headquarters, causing Riley to hum it to herself and making Anger even angrier. Even Joy has gotten fed up with it.

In an episode of Darkwing Duck, a brief scene shows Megavolt pacing in his lighthouse tower, singing a version of the title theme, with no lyrics.

Bill from I Think I Love You reluctantly works for a David Cassidy fan magazine. To his annoyance, he finds himself unable to get the songs out of his head, singing them to himself even when he's off work. He thinks that long after he's forgotten all of Tennyson and Keats, he'll still be able to give a confident rendition of "How Can I Be Sure." He tries to hide this fact from his girlfriend, who hates David Cassidy and thinks he works as a serious rock journalist.

Scrubs:
The episode "My Musical" ends with the current Sacred Heart patient humming the song she heard the staff sing when she first entered the hospital which is ironic, since her eardrums about to explode is what threatened her life in the first place.
Also the third episode of the series, "My Best Friend's Mistake", where they can't get the Erasure song "Give a little respect" out of their heads, which leads to various members of the cast up and singing it out of the blue.

In The Name of the Wind the first book of The Kingkiller Chronicle, the protagonist Kvothe writes the song "Jackass, Jackass" to mock his school rival Ambrose. Since personally performing the song too often will get Kvothe in serious trouble with the University authorities, he writes the song as a deliberate Ear Worm. By the time he gets reported, it's all over town. Reader beware: the selections of the song included in the text are Ear Worms in their own right.

In "Share Air" on Care Bears & Cousins, Grumpy Bear doesn't want to listen to Harmony Bear's new song (which Harmony had warned Share not to listen to anyway) because he's worried it might be this. In fact, there's another reason why they shouldn't be listening to the song — the song is so "light and airy" that it literally causes you to float in the air.

2017 DuckTales reboot:
In the episode "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", the kids get an "in-flight show" in the form of a Darkwing Duck marathon, only for damage to the VCR to cause the end credits of one episode to loop repeatedly. Huey, Louie, and Webby eventually start humming along to the credits music.
In another episode, Don Karnache's sky pirates use a musical number to distract the ducks while they're being robbed. Launchpad finds it so catchy that he stops flying the plane to watch the show, and after the inevitable crash, he continues humming the refrain.

Joueur du Grenier:
Some of the music tracks in the games he reviews, most particularly the theme of Dragon Ball for the NES (its European version, to be precise) are those. He even shows how this theme will never leave your brain.
When reviewing The Addams Family (NES), he notices that the only music track of the game is a 8-bit six-second loop of the series' theme. To show how it is annoying, he uses a short loop of the Joueur du Grenier opening theme during the following minute.

The Nostalgia Critic:
The Critic's "Top 11 Catchiest Theme Songs" video is entirely about this trope. At the end, he gets extremely agitated while urging the viewers to warn people about these songs and not let them hear any — especially DuckTales (woo-oo!).
He complains about catchy song for shows he doesn't like every now and then (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Captain Planet and the Planeteers) and even sings "Good luck getting this theme song out of your head..." over the Jurassic Park theme.
In the "Willy Wonka vs. Charlie" video, the Critic also mentions that the "Willy Wonka" song from the most recent movie kept torturing people for months after seeing it.
In his review of one of his own movies, To Boldly Flee, he warns, "Good luck getting this fucking song out of your head for the next two weeks," before playing a clip of the movie in which the distraction song is sung. After the clip, the Critic adds, "Actually, if you look at the back of your DVD case, you will find there's an extra recording of DuckTales just to help you out with that."
The trope is directly mentioned in a sketch parodying the Witches' song from Hocus Pocus.

Dungeons & Dragons:
One 2nd edition Forgotten Realms priest spell called forgotten melody, known only to the clergy of Milil, would cause distraction by getting part of an Ear Worm stuck in a target's head, leaving them unable to concentrate as they struggle to either get it out of their head or come up with the missing next line. Amusingly, it's noted that the spell is more devastating for characters with high Intelligence, since this makes them far more focused on the task and incapable of dismissing it.
3rd Edition has a bard spell called insidious rhythm that consists of a catchy, silly tune that stays stuck in the mind of the target. This imposes a penalty on all activities involving reflection and concentration, and can even make a spellcaster flub his incantations.

In Baldur's Gate III, Raphael — a devil with a penchant for striking deals — made a contract with another demon in sing-song form, specifically to exploit the fact that such a song is impossible to forget.

Fallout 4: The ad jingle for the titular park of the "Nuka World" DLC. "What if there was a place with all the zip of Nuka-Cola? Wouldn't it be the cheer, cheer, cheeriest place in all the world?" Random raiders will occasionally complain about the song being stuck in their head.

In the Harvey Girls Forever! episode "Blame That Tune", a restaurant jingle gets stuck in the heads of most of the kids with the exception of Dot and Pinkeye, turning the affected into semi-coherent "songies". Dot drives it out by playing the show's opening theme.

In The Bedfellows strip "Jacked Ass", Sheen gets sick of Fatigue playing the "My Little Donkey" theme song loudly, so he yells at him to turn it down. Then he gets the song stuck in his head when he starts masturbating, causing him to sing it. He angrily struggles to get it out of his head, but he couldn't stop singing it, resulting in an Atomic F-Bomb he screams out in rage.

Pinky and the Brain:
The three-part story "Brainwashed" deals with an Ear Worm that's spread to the whole world and is dumbing it down (it's strikingly similar to the "Macarena", which can't be coincidental). In a rare occasion of not trying to take over the world, Pinky and the Brain have to save the world.
One episode of Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain involves The Brain trying to use an Ear Worm to (what else?) Take Over the World. Specifically, he's going to modify the song in the "It's A Small World" ride at Disneyland to include lyrics telling people to make The Brain ruler of the world.

Seinfeld:
The episode "The Jacket" has George dealing with the fact that "Master of the House" from Les Misérables is stuck in his head, and that he randomly starts singing it out loud without even realizing it. When he starts singing it in front of Alton Benes, Elaine's Grumpy Old Man father, Alton angrily tells him to shut up. The Tag shows Alton driving down the highway, only to suddenly start singing it himself. Apparently this ear worm is not only annoying, it's also contagious.
George also thinks that the "By Mennen!" advertising jingle is an ear worm, and incorporates it into his strategy for getting women. "Co-stanza!"
In "The Susie", George's answering machine outgoing is him singing to the tune of The Greatest American Hero. Later in the episode, Jerry, who tried calling George but got the machine, found himself singing the song while unloading his car.

Phineas and Ferb:
The Musical cliptastic countdown special, which shows the top 10 favorite songs, voted by the viewers. In it, the villain Doofenshmirtz tries to hypnotize the "Live Studio Audience" with one of these. ("My name is Doof and you'll do what I say... Woop Woop!") They get un-hypnotized when Agent P plays the number 1 requested song, which is "Gitchie Gitchie Goo" (and, as commented by Doof, "the never-before-seen extended version!")
In the episode "Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?", Dr. Doofenshmirtz is stealing all the clown statues from a burger chain because the song played from the clown is an Ear Worm he can't stop singing. Perry's boss is singing it too. Then in the end credits, he gets the "Perry the Teenage Girl" song stuck in his head.

Star Trek:
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Dark Mirror by Diane Duane, Deanna advises Picard to cultivate an Ear Worm in order to block her Mirror Universe counterpart's telepathy. He chooses George Strong's parody of The Song of Hiawatha:
The concept is referenced in one of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers stories, when Sonya Gomez tries to make her personal access code easier to remember by using lyrics from a catchy alien folk song.

Cragne Manor: One of the more surreal puzzles in the game involves you knocking down a shack, then an earworm of "Tubthumping" getting stuck in your head. You can sing along to the song, and the lyrics get progressively corrupted and disturbing. Since the earworm is only imaginary, to get rid of it, you can sever its ties to your brain with an imaginary knife you find elsewhere in the area.

Splatoon 2 turns this into a major plot point. The "Calamari Inkantation" from the first game is so phenomenally catchy that it makes slews of Octarians realize that there's more to life than the militarized underground they call home, inspiring them to defect and live peacefully on the surface amongst Inklings. The song is also one of the only memories that survives Agent 8's amnesia in the Octo Expansion.

In Origin Story, Alex Harris is trying to concentrate during a strategy meeting with The Avengers and she finds herself half-humming, half-singing a Major General Song (that started with the line , "I am the very model of a busty superheroine...") she'd seen on YouTube that just happened to have been about Alex herself. When the Black Widow asks her if something's wrong, Alex tries to explain, badly. She specifically calls it an Ear Worm, and can't figure out whether she is more annoyed by the fact that she can't get it out of her head, or that the damned thing exists in the first place.

The concept is used in an episode of French TV series Kaamelott: King Arthur can't get out of his head a song he heard from a minstrel ("À la volette", a traditional children's song). He spends most of the episode getting distracted and trying to get the melody out of his head (even interrupting a council to sing it out loud). Ironically, the series was so popular that the song itself became once more well-known and remains a prime example of the Ear Worm in France.

Saturday Night Live: One sketch centers around a group of mobsters meeting at an Italian restaurant to discuss money owed to the boss. However, the group is distracted by the restaurant's main act (host Peter Dinklage) singing an '80s techno song about his "Space Pants". Eventually, the boss tells them they can wait until the song's over as it's too catchy.

Takeshi Kovacs: Broken Angels mentions a propaganda song written by Kempist revolutionaries which was so catchy that even the most patriotic soldier could find himself absent-mindedly humming lyrics from it. It became a bit of a problem, with overzealous political officers turning in otherwise-loyal citizen who happened to get it stuck in their heads. The government eventually dealt with it by releasing a rip-off version featuring pro-government lyrics set to the same catchy tune.

In Harley Quinn's own comic, an Ear Worm is an actual worm that hibernates for 363 days a year; the two days it is awake — Christmas Eve and Christmas Day — it curls up in a human's ear and sings very, very annoying Christmas songs like "Jingle Bells" and "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Harley is its latest victim, but she is cured by — who else? — Santa Claus.

DuckTales (Woo-oo!):
An episode of DuckTales that does their spin on The Odyssey has Uncle Scrooge nearly be lured away by the Sirens. After he is rescued, he comments "Ever had a song that just wouldn't get out of your head?"
2017 DuckTales reboot:
In the episode "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!", the kids get an "in-flight show" in the form of a Darkwing Duck marathon, only for damage to the VCR to cause the end credits of one episode to loop repeatedly. Huey, Louie, and Webby eventually start humming along to the credits music.
In another episode, Don Karnache's sky pirates use a musical number to distract the ducks while they're being robbed. Launchpad finds it so catchy that he stops flying the plane to watch the show, and after the inevitable crash, he continues humming the refrain.
In an episode of Darkwing Duck, a brief scene shows Megavolt pacing in his lighthouse tower, singing a version of the title theme, with no lyrics. He soon breaks off and complains, "Agh, I can't get that song out of my head!" His irritation is understandable, since the song is all about his nemesis.

Doctor Who:
A Jon Pertwee-era episode has Jo Grant resist the Master's hypnosis by reciting "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll.
Speaking of the Master, he's apparently had the same Ear Worm continuously since he was eight, when the last Time Lord president implanted it in his head. He once spread it to the entire human race in order to take over the world.
In "Under the Lake", everyone who sees the mysterious writing inside the spaceship has their brains rewritten by it. When they die, they come back as ghosts who repeat the coordinates endlessly. The Doctor compares it to hearing "Mysterious Girl" by Peter Andre and being unable to get it out of your head. He even uses the term "ear worm" to describe this.
Weaponized and lampshaded by the arctic researchers in "Last Christmas", who pump New Who's perennial Christmas Episode staple (Slade's "Merry Christmas Everybody") into Shona's headphones so she'll be too captivated by the tune to acknowledge the Dream Crabs.

Todd in the Shadows:
Todd discusses this trope reviewing Chris Brown's "Deuces". However, he calls the song an "Ear Snail" because it's slow, gross, and completely forgettable.
He also says that Katy Perry's "E.T." fails to be catchy, particularly regarding the anemic beat. But Todd ends up with FloRida's "Whistle" stuck in his head, leading to self-immolation trying to stop it. And in return plants "Friday" on Linkara's head.
A One Hit Wonderland episode has That Dude in the Suede saying how unfortunate that since 1998, the common New Zealand phrase "How Bizarre" can't be heard in those islands without a Spanish guitar playing in everyone's heads afterwards.
Another One Hit Wonderland, "Funkytown", is downright described as an earworm in the episode description, has Todd doing an Imagine Spot of a scavenger After the End singing to the song's tune, and in the end he says "now I'm gonna beat my skull with a hammer in hopes of removing this song from my brain!"

The Bolt Chronicles: Mittens is prone to getting tunes stuck in her head, though it happens to Bolt as well.
In "The Paris Trip," Mittens has "Free Man in Paris" by Joni Mitchell running through her head while sightseeing in the city, as well as "And I Love Her" by The Beatles after she and Berlioz make love. This also happens to her with "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" by Simon & Garfunkel during the cab ride to the airport at the end of the story, which makes her wistfully sad for her vacation fling with Berlioz.
In "The Gift," Mittens has the song "Pay You Back with Interest" by The Hollies floating through her head at one point in Nirvana, which is appropriate given the tie-in with karma.
In "The Ski Trip," Mittens has "Can't Buy Me Love" by The Beatles start running through her head at the beginning of her ill-advised downhill ski run with Bolt and Rhino.
In "The Ship," both Bolt and Mittens mention having songs by Marshall Crenshaw running through their heads just after they declare their love for each other. For Bolt, it's "Cynical Girl," while for Mittens, it's "Brand New Lover."
In "The Imaginary Letters," Bolt mentions having the song "Cinnamon Girl" by Neil Young going through his head when he and Penny are joyfully running through Harvard Yard.

Honest Trailers:
The one for Frozen has a change of lyrics for every song of the movie; when it comes to "Let It Go"...
Rinse and repeat with the "Happy" song from the Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 trailer:
And The Little Mermaid earns this treatment for "Under the Sea".
The trailer for the X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon says the theme song "[has] been stuck in your head for decades. I mean, seriously, if Professor X was real, all I'd hear is 'ba-na-na-na naaaaa na na'."

Taken to a very dark extreme in the Voices in the Dark short story "Splendid Shadow Song". A woman hears a busker playing a song that is so catchy it literally alters her brainwaves and repeatedly plays over and over in her head, driving her insane in the process. Many others who heard the song ended up committing suicide.

In GURPS, sufficiently powerful message-carrying psi-bombs can lodge a short sentence or rhyme in a person's mind for several minutes. For obvious reasons, this can be a more terrifying prospect than similar tech that can rip out someone's soul and store it in a jar.

Alfred Bester's The Demolished Man features a man who wants to commit a murder in a world populated by telepaths. So he deliberately "infects" himself with an extremely catching ear worm so that any telepaths won't be able to hear anything else that he's thinking. In-universe, ear worms are referred to as "pepsis", although no-one remembers why.

An episode of Family Guy features Peter hearing the song "Surfin' Bird" for the first time in years. Upon hearing that the restaurant management is going to throw away the record, he takes it and soon becomes obsessed with the song. He blares it for days upon end, he constantly brings it up in conversation so he can play it, he withdraws a large sum of money just to promote the song on TV, and he even uses the record as a sex toy. Eventually, Stewie and Brian steal the record and destroy it — and to make sure he doesn't ever play it again, they destroy every copy in town. Thanks to Jesus, Peter gets another copy at the end anyway.

In "Reflections" by mind.in.a.box, after shadowing a target into a nightclub, Black cannot get the music out of head, which then degrades into a lyrical Madness Mantra of sorts. Amusingly, ten years later in "Travel Guide", the music is stated to be by mind.in.a.box.

How I Met Your Mother:
In "Arrivederde, Fiero", Ted and Marshall are on a long road trip in a car with a cassette tape of "500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be)" stuck on an endless loop. They alternate between liking the song and hating it
"Spoiler Alert": Marshall's annoying habit is singing to narrate everything he does plus some nonsense stuff; it turns out that one such song, which sounded like gibberish to the group, was a mnemonic device for the password to his bar exam results. The song is stuck in everyone's head and they all know it by heart, which is how Marshall finally remembers his password.
"Of Course": The group of friends repeatedly describes Barney's tune "a bang, bang, bangity-bang" as very catchy and burst into singing it together.

In Kingdom of Loathing, in the last boss battle of the Accordion Thief's Nemesis quest, the Big Bad has the ability to not only get a demonic song stuck in your head, but physical ear worms as well! The only way to get rid of them is to sing a different Ear Worm in response, which enrages the worms and sends them back to attack the Big Bad. The kicker? The cure is a mashup of "Feliz Navidad" and "The Fish Heads Song".

A magical version appears in in Invisible Sun with the Insidious Song, a disease in musical form that lives in the mind of a thinking being, its simple but catchy tune echoing over and over. It is impossible to get the song out of your head once it takes hold, barring some kind of curse removal magic. The Insidious Song is highly contagious and tries to get those in its grip to hum or sing enough of the tune so it also spreads to other minds.

Frasier:
When a death-metal artist moves in upstairs and plays his music full-volume around the clock, both Daphne and Martin get "Na-na-na-na-na-na, flesh is burning..." stuck in their heads.
When Frasier is unemployed in season 6 he starts writing an operetta to keep himself occupied. Later in the episode Martin starts singing one of the songs to himself and only realizes what he's doing when Niles tells him he's doing it again.
