⬆ Which is a good idea because the page mainly became people gushing over music they liked or complaining about music they didn't. Needless to say the trope was way too broad.

^A lot of the problem was that out-of-universe examples were a magnet for Zero Context Examples. It's much easier to describe an instance of a character getting a song stuck in their head than it is to describe a song that got stuck in one's own head.

^ Yeah, exactly. Basically every real-life song can get stuck in someone's head, so the best anyone could do was write down the lyrics.
