Why this one divides people
An earworm is the mind's least welcome guest, and the worst ones are built to loop. A nursery rhyme is engineered for repetition, all simple notes and no escape, while an ad jingle is worse because it was written to sell you something and it still won't leave. A song you genuinely hate is the cruelest case, since disliking it seems to make it stick harder. Even a catchy pop song can turn hostile by the third hour. Everyone has one stuck right now, and mentioning it is the surest way to spread it.
