unhearit — The anti-earworm
Can't get that song out of your head?
"We created this site for those of you that have a song stuck in your head and can't get it out no matter what you do. Using the latest techniques in reverse-auditory-melodic-unstickification technology, we've been able to enable our users to 'unhear' songs by hearing equally catchy songs. So really, all we're doing is making you forget your old song by replacing it with another one... sorry."

At the risk of developing a new earworm, if you wanna hear "M'appari" sung in German instead of Italian - assuming you'd want to hear it at all, in any language, which you probably don't - here's Fritz Wunderlich doing that, and at a peppier tempo, too:

Incredible voice, and cut down so young - at the tender age of 36 he fell down some stairs in a castle in Heidelberg and that was that. Awful!

What I would find interesting is a list of tunes that show up frequently in peoples' earworms. (Or has that already happened here? You've already investigated that?) If you left out the tailored-to-be-earworms ad jingles, the actual songs or tunes, I mean. I've got "Layla" (but just the two syllables and the connecting guitar: Lay-laaaaaa!) stuck in there, but what's interesting is the interweaving with the other stuck ones - about ten bars from the middle of "La Mer"; "M'appari tutt' amor" (you can find it on YouTube - go for the Bjoerling); "Fever" (old Peggy Lee version); and Hank Williams' "Jambalaya". What a mess!
