My reaction to this has changed over the past week. First I thought it was lame and silly. Then it got stuck in my head one night and kept me up, and I hated it and NancyLebovitz. Then it continued to be stuck in my head off and on, and Stockholm Syndrome or something must have kicked in because now I like it and think it's amusing.

The getting-stuck-in-my-head is probably not a function of the song's natural ear worm potential. I get songs stuck in my head very easily, (perhaps because I hear my thoughts in spoken English like an internal monologue).

Something similar happened to me, but over a period of many months.
