I don't generally make a big effort to look for music in my TLs but eventually I come across some songs that really stick in my brain. For Dutch the first happened to be this one:
What was the first song that really stuck in your head for your TLs?

Re: First TL song to get stuck in your head
I liked a few Korean songs already before I heard this one, but I think it was the first one to get really stuck in my head. Thanks to this song and another song of theirs, SHINee eventually became the first Kpop group I became a fan of and led to me becoming a Kpop fan.

This is my first earworm in a target language dating from when I embarked on learning Hungarian when Usenet and CDs ruled the Earth, Napster didn't exist, and I fantasized about getting FSI Hungarian Basic for Christmas.

Re: First TL song to get stuck in your head
I went to a tiny French immersion preschool in Northern California where we met once a week to sing songs. Frère Jacques got stuck in my head for years, along with a song "Avec ma baguette magique" that I think was made up by the teacher. After those few months of classes I grew up monolingual but I still know those songs, or parts of them at least.

Re: First TL song to get stuck in your head
After all these years I still don't know many songs in Spanish, but this is definitely a favorite, embarrassingly...
