* In [[https://inkyrickshaw.com/comic/siren-song/ this]] ''Inky Rickshaw'' strip, a ship's crew fears the song of a siren, but not because it's luring them in...instead, the captain laments how her song will be stuck in his head all day.

* ''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'': In “The Forever Song”, the Jazzberries are beset by the eponymous eternally-looping tune. In addition to being annoyingly catchy, the song is also (supposedly) cursed so that anyone who stops singing it is plagued with bad luck.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/CatTales'': Invoked in ''Something New'', where Riddler can't get the song "76 Trombones" out of his head. It turns out to be a plot of Joker and Hugo Strange; Joker is seeking retaliation for Riddler repeatedly pinching Harley's behind at the Rogues' Christmas party in ''Knight Before Christmas'', and had Hugo inject Riddler with a viral microchip receiver, transmitting the song directly into his brain to drive him crazy.

* Music/{{Sabaton}} are known for their catchy lyrics, but in one particular case [[https://youtu.be/JKqMB6fRGVA according to the band]], Music/DragonForce guitarist Sam Totman heard "Nuclear Attack" six months before the album came out (Sabaton opened for DF and Music/{{Edguy}} within weeks of recording ''Attero Dominatus'' and gave them a preview), and drove his tour manager crazy constantly repeating bits and pieces of the song.

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'', Raphael -- a devil with a penchant for [[DealWithTheDevil striking deals]] -- made a contract with another demon in sing-song form, ''specifically'' to exploit the fact that such a song is impossible to forget.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Mittens is prone to getting tunes stuck in her ear, though it happens to Bolt as well.
** In "The Paris Trip", Mittens has "Free Man in Paris" by Music/JoniMitchell running through her head while sightseeing in the city, as well as "And I Love Her" by Music/TheBeatles after she and Berlioz make love. This also happens to her with "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" by Music/SimonAndGarfunkel during the cab ride to the airport at the end of the story, which makes her wistfully sad for her vacation fling with Berlioz.
** In "The Gift", Mittens has the song "Pay You Back with Interest" by Music/TheHollies floating through her head at one point in Nirvana, which is appropriate given the tie-in with karma.
** In "The Ski Trip", Mittens has "Can't Buy Me Love" by Music/TheBeatles start running through her head at the beginning of her ill-advised downhill ski run with Bolt and Rhino.
** In "The Ship", both Bolt and Mittens mention having songs by Music/MarshallCrenshaw running through their heads just after they declare their love for each other. For Bolt, it's "Cynical Girl", while for Mittens, it's "Brand New Lover".
** In "The Imaginary Letters", Bolt mentions having the song "Cinnamon Girl" by Music/NeilYoung going through his head when he and Penny are joyfully running through Harvard Yard.
