10 Biggest Earworms Of All Time

7. Wonderwall - Oasis

For anyone even remotely familiar with the '90s, Oasis need no real introduction. After the grunge scene faded, these lads from Manchester managed to take the world by storm and reinvent rock and roll, all while the brothers Gallagher couldn't stand each other the whole time. And yet, there's still that one song that outshines every single one of their hits...and it might not be for the best reason.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen...we have another meme song on our hands. Before the Internet took the world by storm, Wonderwall was just a nice little ditty that was full of slightly surreal images about the person who will help save you from yourself. Granted, if you've ever played guitar, this song is probably the bane of your existence, with it getting picked up as one of the most rudimentary things that people are asked to play.

As far as earworms go though, the power behind Wonderwall is just its refusal to leave the cultural mainstream. Even with both Gallagher brothers wiping their hands of the tune in recent years, you still can't help but think of Liam's trademark whine as he talks about today being the day that you'll get something thrown back at you. At this point, we can forget Stairway to Heaven. This is the real Guitar Center torture.
