shpadoinkle (v.): shpa · doyn · kel.
Meaning/Description: To cause, whether intentional or unintentional, a song to become stuck in another person's head, by way of humming or singing the song, or by reciting or writing its lyrics.
Lineage: The word originates with the song "Shpadoinkle Day" from Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Cannibal! The Musical. This song is one of the stickiest songs since "Girl from Ipanema," and for some who have heard it one too many times, the song can become infuriatingly stuck in one's head with a simple mention of the word. Eventually, Head Prophet Brendan Dillon used the word to refer to the act of making any song become stuck in another's head. It was first used in this manner in a reply to a post in Head Prophet Wayland Phillips' LiveJournal.
