At the end of the performance, choose a humanoid within 60 feet of you who watched and listened to all of it. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become cursed with the earworm. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on Intelligence and Wisdom ability checks and saving throws, in addition to Constitution saving throws made to maintain concentration. This effect ends on a target after 1 hour or if a remove curse spell is cast upon it.
