James Blunt — “You’re Beautiful” (2005)
James Blunt can’t have imagined that one little pop song was going to make him a household name everywhere. “You’re Beautiful” is often considered the perfect romantic song, and has been used in pop culture more times than we can even count. Let’s not forget that the lyrics reference getting high and trying to steal someone else’s partner. Ouch. Perhaps we’d all do better listening to the lyrics of the song on the list before we add it to our playlists.

Sherman Brothers — “It’s A Small World” (1963)
Disney has spent a lifetime building their brand using this song in particular, which was often heard as a staple across any of their theme parks around the world before the pandemic hit. The song itself might not be as annoyingly catchy as some of the others on the list, but it does creep into the brain, and you’ll find yourself repeating the lyrics over and over again throughout the course of your day, even after just one listen.
