Caramella Girls – ‘Caramelldansen’

The original version, from Caramella Girls’ album Supergott, is in Swedish. That song is OK, but when the band released a sped-up version on iTunes, it spawned an Internet meme. For a few years, everyone from Darth Vader to random anime characters performed this dance in one spoof video or another. It’s even been witnessed by live-action Stormtroopers.

Danny Elfman – “This Is Halloween”

It’s only fitting that Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas generated multiple earworms, given how captivating many Christmas tunes are. Thankfully, I’m no longer plagued by “Oogie Boogie’s Song,” but “This Is Halloween” continues to play in my brain everytime I see the shameless blending of Christmas and Hallowe’en merchandise in stores (as early as September, nowadays).
