My wife keeps singing music from Into the Woods. It’s a fine musical, and I’m a fan of it, but she’s getting the songs such in my head.
I need ammunition to fight back with.
What’s a good song to play that I can’t get stuck in her head?

Sandstorm. Always Sandstorm.
Günther - Ding Dong Song
I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky, I could be purple, I could be hurtful, I could be anything you like
Escape - The pina colada song
If you can find a loop of the first few seconds before the lyrics of VengaBoys We LikeTo Party, that’s diabolical IMO.
Otherwise, that song is, IMO, such a good earworm.

“United States of Israel” and “United States of Pedophiles” are good ones.
DOO DOO DOO DOO, DOO DA DOO DOO, DOO DOO DOO DOO, DOO DA DOO DOO
You’ll need a surgeon to extract it from her brain.
And mine now, too.
Sorry to go nuclear on your wife. Make it through the chorus of this song (mmm bop) one time and it’s just about guaranteed earworm. In the words of Mr. Miyagi “If do right, no can defend.”
I’m probably screwed just by thinking of the song to recommend it to you. 😁
Oh, so you’re fucking evil. Noted.
Stuck in my head without even listening.
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
There’s a better version
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they’re gone so fast
Take this ancient weapon from the 80s:
You could’ve simply type “Jitterbug!” to plant this into our collective brains.
Truly deranged mid-80s wear on display, thanks for the link!
Oooh that’s delightfully sinister love it
Pompeii by Bastille. Not so much the song but the day-day-oh, day-oh chant that runs under it.
Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye. It took me years to get rid of it. I am in danger simply talking about it here.
Speaking of Day-oh though, the Banana Boat Song made famous by Harry Belafonte and also its appearance in Beetlejuice is a mid tier earworm. It all depends on how evil you’re feeling.
Edit: 10 imaginary points if you spot what I had to fix.

…goddammit
LOL. Sucke…
Crap.
It’s ‘Eheu!’ and it means some variation of ‘Oh no’ or ‘Alas’ or even ‘Oh shit!’ in Latin.
I should have looked up the lyrics, but eheu, I did not.
If you thought the Gotye version was catchy, the ska-punk cover of Somebody by Half Past Two is even more so. Listen to it at your own peril.
I first saw Walk Off the Earth play it in a single guitar in one take
Somebody once told me
