Are there any openings that get stuck in your head and just can't stop humming to yourself? I've found that even after months of completing it, I am still humming the opening to Beck: Mongolion Chop Squad. So are there any opening to you that -for better or worse- can't stop hearing in your head?

Bo-bobo Bo Bo-bobo has a really good one, along with Naruto's 5th Opening Seishun Kyousoukyoku, and of course the American versions of Pokemon's and Dragonball Z's first openings. Dragonball had a catchy one too. Oh, and One Piece's 3rd Opening, Hikari E.

The OP for Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan is considered to be one of the worst earworms of all time.

I've found that OPs for Neon Genesis Evangelion, Shuffle, Inukami, Strike Witches season 1, Shakugan no Shana season 1 and So Ra No Wo To also tend to get stuck in my head.

I should mention that Naruto's fourth opening, Go!, is the first good Ear Worm I have experienced.

Edit: Aaaaand there it goes again.

Oh my gosh...the opening to Kuragehime kept me up at night once. -_-

edit: So many O Ps can be catchy though...I think the first Shingeki and Card Captor Sakura ops are two of the most widely considered catchy.

Hmm, I thought I saw a similar thread in the past and posted in it.

I really like the 1st OP for Nichijou.

[up][up][up]My friend, you've won this thread...

Also, er, kinda hard to choose. A lot of songs are catchy. My personal favorite animu song(and favorite song) of all time would be Triangler(Macross Frontier's first opening), although I don't know how catchy it is...

Well, maybe DATABASE?

Bokurano has a great opening theme. One of the few that I listened to every time I watched an episode.

The first Ranma 1/2 OP is dreadfully catchy.

Nurse Angel Ririka opening that's super catchy in the way only the 90s could be.
