Chris Bonds lists the following characteristics of great tunes:

>Memorable
>Wear like iron
>Singable or hummable
>You catch yourself humming them at odd times of the day
>Unites people in a common cause if accompanied by at least 2 of the above ;-)
>etc.

How can we exclude "Itsy-bitsy Teeny-weeny Yellow Polka-dot Bikini?" It's
(unfortunately) memorable.  It wears.  It's certainly singable.  I find
myself humming it at odd times.  And it unites people in a common cause
(usually rage) to want it to stop.
