'Lego Movie 2' director apologizes to parents for head-drilling 'Catchy Song'

Did you think "Everything Is Awesome" from 2014's "The Lego Movie" was the most addictive, and annoying, song ever?

The reign is over.

"The Lego Movie 2, The Second Part" has released its earworm of a theme song for the sequel out Feb. 8, written by Jon Lajoie and produced by Dillon Francis. Featuring T-Pain and That Girl Lay Lay, it's appropriately called "Catchy Song."

It's maddening.

Hold your ears. "Catchy Song" is out.

As the lyrics state (over and over again), "This song is gonna get stuck inside your head." 

By the end, "Catchy Song" states the obvious. The song is now stuck inside your head. Forever.

Songwriter and comedian Jon Lajoie tells USA TODAY via email that 2014's Lego song “Everything Is Awesome” set the bar in "annoyingly catchy.”

“There was no way to top it. So what do you do? Dial the 'annoying' up to 11!" Lajoie wrote.

He apologized for a future in which kids demand to hear the song from the backseat of cars: "Sorry, parents. And I’m totally not saying this with a diabolical grin on my face.”

Director Mike Mitchell says the song is so catchy that he added an earworm character to start rapping in the number. He admits it was challenging to listen to "Catchy Song" repeatedly during the editing process. 

"In the editing room, I watched it over and over. It drills itself into your head. It’s relentless," says Mitchell. "I feel like I had to get it surgically removed from my head."

He, too, apologized to parents in advance of the film's release.

"Kids are going to love it and will play it over and over. So parents are really going to be upset with me," Mitchell said. "But what can you do?"

You might want to hold your ears for like a year and let this pass. But if you're game to listen, here's a more complete version.

We warned you.
