Earworm
I think my son has been watching too much television lately. Specifically, I think he's been watching too much of the PBS Kids show "SuperWhy!" (It's a show about a team of reading superheroes, fronted by a boy who calls himself SuperWhy.)
Why (ha), you might ask, would I think such a thing? Because when I get in the shower, I find myself singing the theme song. I could choose any other song in the world to bellow within the amplifying walls of my shower stall, and I'm singing, "Who's got the power, the power to read? To answer the call of friends in need?….SuperWhy! SuuuuuperWhy. He's the guy, heeee's (beat) SuperWhy!"
And I always thought the Pina Colada song was the most annoying earworm ever.
What gets stuck in your head, causing you to sing under your breath against your will?

Oh, where do I start? I am always humming something and then am horrified to realize it's a tune from Backyardigans, or the theme to Go Diego Go, or a Laurie Berkner song, or, perhaps worst, "Let's Go!" from the horribly annoying Bounce show on Sprout.
Vamanos!
