Word Appropriation Alert
I have just become aware of the fact that German possesses a word that English desperately needs. Please take note and use the word on all future appropriate occasions.

I've actually seen "earworm" used in English for the last few years, although I think it's mostly been from people who have seen or are aware of the original German. So it's in English, but not without some hand-holding.
