They've got a name for it now: earworm. While The NY Times ran this two weeks ago (meaning it's nearing the pay-only barrier), my hometown daily just ran it Monday (and didn't put it online). Here's another (perhaps more long-lived) copy of the story from the Miami Sun-Sentinel.
Here's a riff on the same story from the Cincinnati Post (gotta admire this woman who gets her own quotes).
