What are the catchiest pop tunes you've ever heard, regardless of genre, and including songs that may be out of your usual comfort zone? The catchiest ones for me include:
"Sunday Morning" and "This Love" - Maroon 5
"Single Ladies" - Beyonce
"You're So Vain" - Carly Simon
"Killer Queen" - Queen
"Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" - Shania Twain (don't read anything into that!)
"Whoever You Are" - Geggy Tah
"Hey Ya!" - Outkast

That cursed ditty sticks in my head every time I have to play it on a casual...I have to wash my ears out with Chick Corea or Jeff Berlin every time.... |

Its not like I like it but its almost like a bum following you around asking you for a quarter. He smells, sounds bad, and is all around annoying, but you cant shake him.
Oh yeah and for me, Funky Town |

I don't even remember who did the song. |

It was catchy but it still makes my sphincter tighten up just thinking about it.
Achy Breaky Heart was catchy too unfortunately....catchy like VD |

How is this for a catchy tune you can't shake?

Here's another one that popped into my head the other day (completely uninvited, I might add): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vziUC1IT0wo |

That's a great song. Thank God no one's covered it... or at least I'm never heard the cover.
