I've always liked that tune.
 
My reaction to most of that list is "Really?"

Um, has anyone heard from Alex?  I hope he's still above ground and kicking...  Haven't heard from Space Cowboy either.
 
I miss Jan and Billy too! 

That list...like most all lists trying to quantify a type or genre...is a crock. Where is "Hanky Panky" or "The Macarena" or "Satisfaction" or "They're Coming To Take Me Away" or (for gawd's sake) "Happy Birthday" or "Hey Jude" or any one of a thousand other tunes that almost anyone can remember and hum no matter how tone deaf they are?

Pffft!

the good doktor is doing fine

I know this is gonna sound totally dumb but I have had the theme tune to the Dukes Of Hazzard bouncing around my head since the 70's. It will just not die.

The tune I can never get rid of after hearing it is The Monkees - Daydream Believer

Sorry Grim, we're not referring to that Alex. Our Alex 'The Kook' was a founder member of The CHB and the chap who provided that monstrous intro passage for (Bow Before) Asparapuss. All in all a really great guy.

Yay!!
 

A few more for your consideration...
 
Hey Jude
Hello, Goodbye

I Love Rock 'n Roll

They don't have to be a sing-along to be an earworm. Sometimes a memorable riff or melody will do it...
 
Smoke on the Water
Whiter Shade of Pale
La Bamba
Layla
Sweet Home Alabama
La Grange
Iron Man
Satisfaction
Back in Black
Don't Fear the Reaper
Sultans of Swing
Pretty Woman
Surf music in general
 
But why are so many of them 30+ years old? Is the art of the earworm dying?
