The repetitive jazz dance music from Creeping Terror. I was humming it earlier this week. It gets me every time.
And when I was in high school, “Where, O Werewolf.” A friend and I must have sung that at least once a week for a year.
We had a real bad fit of “HE TRIED TO KILL HIM WITH A FORKLIFT” around here after I showed my 8 year old Fugitive Alien during spring break.
The Book of Love by Carol Connors in Catalina Caper. It stays in my head for weeks. There’s even a turkey day promo of Joel and Servo singing it so it stuck in their heads too.
i guess i’m the only one suffering from a terminal case of “i sing whenever i sing whenever i sing.’
California Laaadddyyyyyyy…
Oh, and ‘Hum-deela-hee-hee-hoowa-hoowa’.
“IDIOT CONTROL NOW!”
Two that bug the crap out of me: stupid “Yipes Stripes” from Teenage Strangler, and that barely audible “Pied Piper of Love” song from The Incredibly Strange Creatures etc. (the one that plays during Carmelita’s half-assed striptease). If those get into my head, I’m screwed for the rest of the day.
On the other hand, I could hum “Ba-Pa-Da-Pa-Da-Da” from Danger!! Death Ray for hours and never get sick of it :)
watch out for snakes.
Hum dida hee hee hua hua…hum dida hee hee hua hua…
Moooooooon Zero Twooooo
“They won’t get soft or squishy, better eat ’em or you’re a sissy, just pound them down you stupid clown they’re wiiiild!”
And, of course, Rowsdower saves us, and saves all the world.
“W-i-l-l-l-l-d rebels!!! Crunchy, munchy rebels!” tends to gets lodged in my head, and so does “Rock candy, baby!” from Daddy-O. I hear them on endless loops in the shower, while I’m cooking, driving…. Luckily I only get one song stuck at a time, because if both played at once I might lose my pretty little mind.
The babadadadada song from danger death ray is a good one for humming around the home.
dickweed
“Killer shrews, killer shrews
Don’t know the difference between me and you…”
Good luck getting that out of your head. :)
The wedding song from The Day The Earth Froze:
“He failed to bring us the Sampo, Sampo
We will die of starvation, Sampo”
From Diabolik: “Driving off to the store… gonna pick up some bread… maybe stop at the post office…”
Most of the songs already listed are earworms for me too. The theme from “Danger!! Death Ray” is so swingin’ and groovy that I made a ringtone from the sound clip and get to hear it whenever certain family members call. Ba-da-da-da-da-da, BA-DA-DA-DA!!! (And yes, I know we’ve already done a WDT on MST3K ringtones.)
Gotta be Zombie Stomp from Horror of Party Beach. I think I hummed it the whole way home from work last time I saw the episode.
Secret Agent… Wa WAAA! Secret Agent… Wa WAAA! Secret Agent… Wa WAAAAAA!!!
And so on, ad infinitum. Wa WAAAAAAA!!!!!!
The ultimate Earworm, of course is –
TORGO’S THEME!!
Here as of late I have been sashaying sashaying through the sarcasm.
While stalking skulking through the sargassm.
Does anyone have any idea of what that’s like?
@ #19: That should be, “The Haunting Torgo Theme.”
I don’t really have an earworm from MST3K, per se (though the not-musical “…Chief? McCloud!” comes close), but, besides the already-mentioned Torgo theme, I can think of one possibility:
“LA-LA-LA!”
Somehow PBS Specials and Pledgebreaks come to mind, like
when loving lovers love. Oh, and thanks a lot BRandon! Now I’ll be
hearing The Creeping Terror dance music for a week. :snicker:
When I come home, and it’s half past twelve, momma’s waitin’ up to give me welts, she gets a-shook out of shape (“Shook out of shape!”), she gets a-shook out of shape (“Doin’ the twist!”), she slips her disc and does the twist, she gets a-shook out of shape.
So she says, “Little girl, where have ya been? You shoulda been home about half past ten!” She gets a-shook out of shape (“Shook out of shape!”), she gets a-shook out of shape (“Doin’ the twist!”), she slips her disc and does the twist, she gets a-shook out of shape.
Her feet start to tremble and she shakes her fist, mommy’s flyin’ up to do the twist. The room starts to quiver and the house starts to shake, momma’s done twisted up a quake!
So she says, “little girl, didn’t you know, you’ll do as I say, or you’ll go go go!” She gets a-shook out of shape (“Shook out of shape!”), she gets a-shook out of shape (“Doin’ the twist!”), she slips her disc and does the twist, she gets a-shook out of shape.
Her feet start to tremble and she shakes her fist, mommy’s flyin’ up to do the twist. The room starts to quiver and the house starts to shake, momma’s done twisted up a quake!

She slips her disc and does the twist, she gets a-shook out of shape.
‘Master ninja theme song!’
Because of Werewolf, “TUSK!”
“Night Train to Mondo Fine;” the only good thing to come from a Coleman Francis film.
Pretty much any of the songs from “Hellcats” (the soundtrack album of which can be listened to for free on Spotify!) or any given incidental music song from “Time of the Apes”.
Gameraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh….! really neat… full of meat!
I sing “Creepy Girl” to myself every so often…
The main theme from Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell is a catchy earworm, especially if you start singing in tune with the Safety Dance lyrics.
From Circus on Ice:
These two girls
They make quite a pair
They both come from your worst nightmare
They will haunt your dreams forever
So now when you think pink
Your gonna think
We’re doomed
They are agents of Satan…
Sadly, Joel stops Tom from continuing!
Rowsdower, Rowsdower, bibble-dee bobble-dee Bowsdower. Rowsdower, Rowsdower, gonna get water for Rowsdower….
Cabot! Cabot!! Cabot! Cabot! Cabot? Caboooooot! Cabot! CABOT!! Cabot! Cabot! Cabot!? Cabot! Cabot. Cabot! Cabot!
Not just “Tusk!”, but the whole medley from the Werewolf end credits. If a steady beat begins at our house,
The Failure song from The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (he’s not Sinbad).
DRAT! As I was sayin’, a steady beat leads to “Powwow, the Indian boy”, and we don’t stop ’til ” Banjo on my knee, TUSK!”
The failure songs from “The Day the Earth Froze” and “I sing Whenever I Sing” from “The Giant Gila Monster” are the two biggies. Since I also work in a warehouse the “He Tried to Kill Me With a Forklift” song also pops in my head at various times………..Of course if I sing the latter I’ll be asking for trouble!
When Loving Lovers Love – just typing that in here means I’ll have that accursed monstrosity in my head the rest of the day.
Just about any of them can get stuck in my head from time to time. A couple in particular though would be the “refueling” music from “Starfighters”, and “Poo-maman, he flies like a moron…”
Me, I would pick, from Batwoman: o/` You know, the devil made this movie for you…” o/’
Oh, yes.
And it doesn’t have to be a song, either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMspcxr1Vi8
Lea…ther coat bum-ba-dum bum-ba-dum
Repeat ad infinitum
Good gravy every time I see “Teenage Strangler” I am plagued by the evil “Yipes Stripes” for at least a week.
“Rowsdower saves us and saves all the world!”
Hooray for Santy Claus.
I’d have to go with the very informative “Sodium” from “The Horror of Party Beach.”
When.. you want.. the flavor of bacon in a dip…
and so on, from Pumaman
Four words… four simple, but horrifying words…
Hooray
For
Santy
Claus
Drivin down the road,lookin for a Waffle House,drinkin lotsa Wild Turkey.
