My current earworm is Bernadette Farrell's setting of Psalm 122 I rejoiced when I heard them say because I had to learn it from scratch on Saturday to be ready for Sunday then had it playing on repeat before the service to give the congregation a fighting chance.
Go and click, gullible shipmate,
Listen then and share the fate
Of RR and his faithful mate.
More than this
Ears can’t get wormer,
Unless you google,
‘Nessun Dorma’.

LOL! Neither of these sounds as earwormy as, say, Hampsterdance. (Yes, with a P.)
It was stupid to watch Rod Stewart at Glasto, now I've got several tracks tinkling in my head. But hang on, screeching round the outside and overtaking are some Oasis songs, Sally can wait, or is it, can't wait?
Speaking of Rod Stewart, some of the most annoying ear worms are composite ones - i.e. where there is a musical similarity which makes one morph into the other.
A few years ago I made the mistake of watching highlights from the Queen’s jubilee concert just after running through the hymns for Sunday, and ended up with a composite ear worm of “Sweet Caroline” and “Shine Jesus Shine” that took days to shift.

"Shine, Jesus, shine, la la la..." Thanks for that!
I recorded harmonies for How great thou art yesterday, which involves singing each part all the way through twice, so that's now thoroughly stuck in my head.
I'm trying to make an earworm! I want to learn the tune to the verse of Sheik of Araby, and it keeps turning into The Desert Song!
Gosh, that brings back long forgotten times from my childhood, but I find I have forgotten almost all of the lyrics - can't get past "into your tent I creep"
Usually an old, long-forgotten song leaps back into my mind almost in its entirety after hearing just a few words.
Do I dare G**gle it, and risk getting an undelete-able ear worm?

NOT clicking! 😱😬😬☠ So afraid!
AFF
Make your choice, adventurous stranger
Click the link and bide the danger
Or wonder, till it drives you mad
What would have happened if you had.
(With apologies to C. S. Lewis 😛)

You know the song.
Ah, I often get that one. You've set it off again. 😀 I'm not complaining. I like it.
RIP Judith Durham.
I know not this song. Is it anything like Mornington Crescent?
Waterloo Sunset
So my earworm for the foreseeable is "Will your Anchor Hold". ⚓

Oh golly, it's awful!!!!
You love it really. 😉
I'm not a rugby fan, but I have this one today.
That was the first single I ever owned. I was about 5 at the time.
At the moment, my earworms are bits of the Mass for Four Voices by Byrd, which we sang in Madrid last weekend.
That'll do nicely. ❤️
Make it stop,
Indeed it is, Ronnie.
Understandable. Good Vibrations and all that!

Haunting.
And I've got this.
RIP Vera.

Good challenge for ‘one song to the tune of another’.
RIP Ennio.
Ah, one of Mrs RR's and my favourite films. triple Kleenex indeed!
