From Wikipedia:
An earworm or brainworm, also known as sticky music or stuck song syndrome, is a
catchy or memorable piece of music or saying that continuously occupies a
person's mind even after it is no longer being played or spoken about.
The word earworm is a calque from the German Ohrwurm. The earliest known English
usage is in Desmond Bagley's 1978 novel Flyaway, where the author points out the
German origin of his word.
