Do you always have a song in your head?

Even when I wake up at 3am there is a song in my head. Maybe something I heard that day or watched online etc. It's a bit annoying sometimes, as its often the same bit on repeat. I put white noise on to go back to sleep.

My son says he has this too. When we walk the dog we ask each other 'what song have you got?'
DP doesn't know what I'm talking about.
Do you have one right now? and if so what is it?

Yes I do, we call it an ear worm. For some unknown reason mine at the moment is BoneyM 'brown girl in the ring'.

WeeOrcadian · 22/02/2024 15:06

Yes

Today's delight is Scooter, 2020

Always and it drives me quite mad. It’s like a musical tinnitus.

stairgates · 22/02/2024 15:12

No, may get one pop in later in the day but not a constant thing

HaddawayAndShite · 22/02/2024 15:13

I always have about 5 playing at the same time. Yay ADHD.

Sorry everyone 😔 😬

Candleabra · 22/02/2024 15:17

Yes constantly.

ToBeOrNotToBee · 22/02/2024 15:18

Always.

At the moment is Sweet Love by Augustine.

A pretty gorgeous song anyway I don't mind it one bit.

Deafening · 22/02/2024 15:19

Yes. At the moment it’s I am the one and only.
It been that one for about three days now and I’m more than ready for a change.

Cathbrownlow · 22/02/2024 15:19

Not until I read this thread🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Currently Englishman In New York, triggered by a crossword answer.

But sometimes it drives me mad, and it's worse when I'm stressed.

MyInternalJukebox · 22/02/2024 15:23

Always. Currently on repeat: City of Stars (La La Land).

WhatsYourDamageHeather · 22/02/2024 15:24

Yep. Every day. Sometimes one lasts a few days but always a song in my head. Today is Crazy for You by Let Loose 😂😂

Wednesdaysotherchild · 22/02/2024 15:24

Yes, at least one, usually more (ADHD).

Bedbouncer · 22/02/2024 15:25

Yes, always! Sometimes songs I like, other times they drive me up the wall. At the moment its 'You make it hard to love you' - don't know who it's by - the aqua aerobics instructor has it on her play list, so now it's in my head.

Bunnyhair · 22/02/2024 15:26

@HaddawayAndShite snap.

I have them in layers.

There is always Maneater by Hall & Oats, overlaid by 'Oh Yeah' (made famous by Ferris Bueller's Day Off - bowmp bowmp chicka chickaaaaa), then the theme tune to Bitz and Bob, and then whatever infuriating shite has recently gone viral, e.g. skibidi toilet, and to finish it all off there is often some energetic early 90s jungle.

DetOliviaBenson · 22/02/2024 15:27

Yes! Current one is the theme tune to Law & Order SVU, hence the username. 😂

Bedbouncer · 22/02/2024 15:27

Is this an ADHD thing then? I seem to have a lot of the 'symptoms' according to social media, but have managed to 50-odd without a diagnosis - and don't want to be one of those self-diagnosed people who drive people with real issues up the wall 😕

FabFebHalfTerm · 22/02/2024 15:28

@CacenCaws

this same thread was done recently. You might find it interesting.

my answer remains the same...

no thank god!! I'd have to look for the nearest bridge. I couldn't cope with it!!

TigerRag · 22/02/2024 15:28

All the time

it's currently When will I be famous? - Bros

Sidebeforeself · 22/02/2024 15:39

Mine can be triggered by the last thing someone says.. Just an hour ago DH said “Will you take me to..” and I jumped in and sang “Funky town!!” And now its in my head

Mmmmdanone · 22/02/2024 15:43

I do and sometimes I feel like I'm going mad as I can't get rid if it. When I was watching succession, that mad plinky plonky piano tune was in my head all the time. Kept me awake.

PollyannaWhittier · 22/02/2024 15:44

Always ! Currently it's Be Still for the Presence of the Lord for some unknown reason 😆Earlier today I had I Did What I Did For Maria by Tony Christie
