On some days, having a song stuck in your head is a pleasant experience, as you hum along and carry on cheerfully with your day. However, the last thing you want is for your head to be filled with an annoyingly repetitive track. This is particularly true if you are stressed or have a lot going on. Our list includes 50 of the most vexing songs of all time, which you should avoid at all costs if you don’t want to spend the remainder of the day humming.
The Proclaimers — “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” (1988)
Since its release over thirty years ago, “I’m Gonna Be Me” has become a cultural phenomenon and one of the most famous earworms in history. The song is from the Proclaimers’ 1988 album, “Sunshine on Leith,” and the band has never had another hit quite like it. It’s the kind of song that gets stuck in your head from the very first line and doesn’t let go until the very last note.

Axel F — “Crazy Frog” (2005)
There was no bigger storm on the radio in the early 2000s than the remix of “Crazy Frog,” which was used in numerous promotional campaigns for cell phone services worldwide. The song itself wasn’t particularly memorable, but the remix sparked a craze among the youth, and it was soon being played in nightclubs across the country. We can thank the Swedish group who decided to remix it for making it one of the most popular songs of all time.
