ABBA is definitely earworm worthy. A lot of 60's bubble gum songs can do that too like "Green Tambourine", "Sugar Sugar" and "Little Willy"
One whiff of any of those lays me low for days. Damn, I'm starting to hear Green Tambourine right now. . . .

ABBA and The Bee Gees, disco music in general, gets stuck, it’ll come on the radio and I cringe. DW will see the cringe and immediately proclaim, “What?! We had fun!” We did, but my word at what cost! Now I have Dancing Queen on repeat. At least on this thread the music is replaced after each post.

DW just reminded me of this one.....the title of which we often echo:

I watched the "Jesus Christ Superstar LIVE" performance last week...for me, it's the song "Could we start again please" ( Sara Bareilles) that I can't get out of my head.....
Which is odd because that song was not on the original soundtrack that I wore out in the early 1970s...but it WAS in the movie version in 1973....

I watched as well, and have had the whole soundtrack rolling around in my head for a week now. Amazingly, 48 years later, I STILL remember most of the words!
Now, if I could only remember where I put the car keys this morning 
(just kidding, at least THIS time)

CardsFan....just one more comment....I too know every word to the soundtrack, and I can hear the music in my head all week too....only when I now hear the music, my brain sees the movie version from 1973.
I've seen a LOT of musicals and "rock concert" type shows when I was young, but this is about the ONLY one that I can recall ALL the words to after 47 years....And people I've spoken to who watched last week said the same thing.
"West Side Story" is another one. Dialog AND musical numbers. It's another movie that when I see it on TeeVee today, I can't get some of those numbers out of my head either for weeks at a time....
I wonder why that is. We don't go over individual conversations word for word for days at a time, but for some reason, music evokes that response, and even then, it's only SOME music.

Ever since the Falcon Heavy launch in early February, I've been hearing Bowie's "Life on Mars?" I really don't mind, actually.

DW has been stuck with "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...." from Julie Andrews for a the past couple days. And she has no recollection of how it wormed into her brain.

A perfect earworm -- medium uptempo with repetitive lyric.
Like my Etta James chestnut, that one's been lurking in the neurons for 50 years, waiting to emerge like a case of the shingles. Fortunately, the pain is minimal.

Here are two which seem to get stuck in my head every few years:
