What is earworm?
(N.) A terrible song usually made by a terrible artist that despite it's awfulness, seems to be catchy enough to get stuck in your head until the point you can't get it out. You soon start to hum it all the time, even if you don't like it and may even eventually get used to it. Earworms usually last anywhere between 2 to 6 weeks (based on how often the song plays) and occur about every other month.
Examples: Britney Spears: "Toxic", J-Ho: "Jenny From The Block", and any Justin Timberlake song after 2002.
Hey Ya isn't an Earworm. It's just a damn catchy song! Toxic, now that's an Earworm! Despite Britney's terrible singing voice, the hot, secret-agent like beat will turn it into an Earworm.

Earworm - what is it?
A song (usually one that you don't want to hear) that plays in your head for the rest of the day after you hear it. There is often some part of the song that is addictive to the brain, which may be the beat, the melody, or the lyrics.
Best ways to get rid of an earworm include replacing it with another song, or listening to songs other than the one that is stuck (just try not to think about it).

*Pink's "What About Us" begins to play*
