These are those meddlesome songs that won't leave your brain, even after you ask.

I think ear worm songs generally are good songs but -- sometimes are just too good with a melody or whatever might snag your ear and work its way to the brain. Maybe they are TOO good at burying themselves in your head for a long time. Heard 'em called 'ear Weevils' as well.

3) Sweet Deams by the Eurythmics . . .

2)Lad of 1,000 Dances -- Wilson Picket . . .

1) The Rain, the Park & Other Things (The 1 Flower Girl Song) --- Cowsills

That's my list. The Cowsills win hand's down on one of the biggest 'ear worm' songs of all time. Listen to it with idea that it will be there 24 hours, even sleeping. I had to work this off with a heavy metal blast from Deep Purple's 'Highway Star.' Album or concert version will do.

The Cowsills singing the Flower Girl song takes the cake. It sticks with you like that gum you stepped on yesterday. I got infected by this once when the song came on the radio in the car of someone we were talking to via cell phone.
