Yesterday's MSNBC Cosmic Log dealt with "earworm activity in the auditory cortex" (i.e., why you can't get that fucking song out of your head.)
Here are the latest standings in the accompanying online poll:
Of course it's not scientific -- it doesn't include "Since U Been Gone"! But I like that the Chili's jingle is in there.

it's not stuck in my head because i don't listen to it, but extensive radio play of green day's "boulevard" and 50 cent's "candy" can be extremely annoying.

Guy Bommartio wrote the "Baby Back" song while working at GSD&M, Chili's ad agency. It appears that like he owns the rights to the song. I cracked up when I saw his name in the credits of Austin Powers.

True Faith by New Order.
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...
Score = 0
The 'Can't get it out of my head!' #1 song is 'Karma Chameleon' by Culture Club. You WILL sing it for days. My friend and I would sing it near people just to see how long it took them to start singing it to themselves. It's a virus.
You can't stop it, it owns you.
Otherwise, that fucking Green Day song is this week's runner up.
