Earworms are those tunes that get annoyingly stuck in your mind's ear, because of simple, repetitive melodies. However, here are ten tunes I LIKE to have stuck in my head!

1. Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" theme. The best TV theme, period!
2. Gabriel Faure's Pavane. Just sheer beauty.
3. "Round Midnight", the best jazz tune of all, by Thelonius Monk, Bertie Hanighan and Cootie Williams
4. "Star Dust" by Hoagy Carmichael and Mitchell Parrish. Need I say more?
5."Somewhere In The Night" by Mack Gordon and Josef Myrow, for the 1946 movie musical "Three Little Girls in Blue". This lovely little song was the theme to the TV version of "The Naked City".
6. Erik Satie's first Gymnopedie for piano...but a lot of Satie's piano pieces are unforgettable.
7.Practically anything by Dave Brubeck, especially "Take Five" (written by Paul Desmond), "Unsquare Dance", "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and the theme he wrote for the short-lived 50's Tv show "Mr. Lucky".
8.Almost anything by Steely Dan, especially "Josie", "Deacon Blues" and their theme to the movie "FM".
9."Manteca", that fantastic Cuban jazz tune by Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo. If you're not dancing to this, you're DEAD!
10.Gustav Holst's "The Planets" especially the "Venus" section".

Anyone have any music they love so much they don't want it out of their heads?

Going to go ahead and redirect the traffic to the other thread already going on this one! It's still fairly current, so it would be better to go ahead and keep using it!
