A reader sent me an e-mail asking about early/original earworms on the Internet: tunes or themes designed to "stick" in one's mind, so much so that it's hard to forget them or shake them off. I don't know whether it's a good idea or not to revive memories of such things, but here we go! If you don't like earworms, don't play these videos!
First, one of the earliest earworms I can recall.
This one's for the steak-lovers among us . . . or should that be vegetarians?
From big animals to small ones:
And finally, a telephone ring tone that morphed into one of the most annoying songs on the Web.
I know there are many others out there, but I don't want to make this music post too long. Readers, please contribute your own earworm suggestions in Comments, with a link if possible. Thanks!
Peter
