catchy tune
Song that sticks
A catchy tune is a melody that sticks in your head, often annoyingly so.
The phrase emphasizes how certain musical phrases seem to lodge in memory whether you want them there or not: That jingle is such a catchy tune—I've been humming it all day.
The quality of catchiness isn't necessarily a mark of musical merit.
