I hadn't heard of 耳虫 or 耳朵虫, will need to try to remember that they exist! Well, at least according to Baidu (or was it wikipedia.zh? I forget). I asked a-Pei in Taiwan and she said they would say 洗脑歌, which is funny in itself.
I'd prefer an accompanying note explaining that in the original the reference was to Chinese. yeah, that is a smart idea and I should do that, thank you. I already have several footnotes varyingly marked as [footnote in original], [translator's footnote] and so on lol, thank goodness for the power of annotations.
They look adorable but huge! They are quite large! I don't know if they're snuggly, but they'd be a lapful and then some.
