We’re mixing it up this week with something to help your summer driving and returning to an old theme of insect music.Ā  From infestations to FM stations ā€” here are bands that give us earworms- ā€¦ in only the best ways.

  1. šŸŖ² The Beatles
    Pest: Beetles
    Song: Help!
    The only beetles you welcome into your life ā€” mop tops and all.
  2. šŸ¦— The Crickets
    Pest: Field Crickets
    Song: Thatā€™ll Be the Day
    Backing Buddy Holly and chirping in stereo. Pest level: nostalgic.
  3. šŸ€ Ratt
    Pest: Rodents
    Song: Round and Round
    These rats wear eyeliner and never hide behind the fridge.
  4. šŸ¦ The Byrds
    Pest Adjacent: Urban pest birds (pigeons, starlings)
    Song: Turn! Turn! Turn!
    Beautiful harmonies, until they turn your ledges into lavatories.
  5. šŸœ Adam and the Ants
    Pest: Ants
    Song: Antmusic
    Don’t drink, don’t smoke- what do they do…. Subtle innuendos follow. There must be something inside. The only colony youā€™ll let invade your headphones.
  6. šŸ¦‚ Scorpions
    Pest-ish: Arachnids
    Song: Rock You Like a Hurricane
    If these guys are in your building, call pest control and security.
  7. šŸ“ŗ The Buggles
    Pest: Generic Bugs (and possibly glitchy AV tech)
    Song: Video Killed the Radio Star
    The first bug to crash MTV. The only exterminator needed? Remote control.
  8. šŸŖ³ Papa Roach
    Pest: Cockroaches
    Song: Last Resort
    They thrive in darkness, scream at walls, and just wonā€™t die.
  9. šŸ¦‹ Iron Butterfly
    Pest-ish: Moths
    Song: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
    The kind of bug that comes with lava lamps and 17-minute solos.
  10. šŸœ Alien Ant Farm
    Pest: Ants (extra-terrestrial ones, obviously)
    Song: Smooth Criminal
    Because your kitchenā€™s not safe from invaders ā€” even if theyā€™re from space.

šŸŽø Bonus: W.A.S.P.

Pest: Yep. Wasps.
Song: I Wanna Be Somebody
Quip: Aggressive. Loud. Hard to get rid of. Just like the actual stingersā€”except these wear leather.
