catchy melody
Song that lingers
A catchy melody is a tune that sticks in the mind after hearing it, often replaying involuntarily.
The phrase describes music with memorable hooks—simple, repetitive patterns that lodge in memory: That commercial has such a catchy melody I can't stop humming it.
Catchy implies easy appeal rather than artistic depth.
