I knew they were called "earworms." The first time I saw the term was a while ago (in fact I used it way back in 2004), the article I read was interviewing German scientists as they learned more about songs getting stuck in people's heads and in German the term for that is "ohrwurm," which is what I named this post.

Damn, you know Everything! One day I'll come up with a tidbit you don't know. I will. Yep.
You probably already have, but I didn't admit to not knowing. It's an insecurity that the internets lets me keep hidden very easily.
