(EER.wurm)
n.
A song or tune that repeats over and over inside a person's head. Also: ear-worm, ear worm.
Notes:
The term earworm is the literal English translation of the German word ohrwurm (see the earliest citation, below, for more). An earworm is also sometimes called a sticky tune or a cognitive itch. Subscriber Isa Mara Lando of Brazil tells me that in Portuguese they call it chiclete de ouvido, or ear chewing gum.
