I always have music in my head and I was wondering if other people have something similar.

I have what I call a "Song of the Day". Every day, it seems one song wins out and is on replay in my head. At the end of the day, I realize that it was the song for that day :)

    Same. Usually it's a good song, though. On the rare occasions when it's a bad one, I just need to listen to it once, immediately followed by abgood one to replace it in my head.

    Today is one of those good days. Destiny Potato - "Blue Sun", if anyone wants to know.

    I don't always have an earworm, and when I do the song varies. I've actually been considering logging it like a diary, because I can be stuck on the same song for days, and sometimes, weeks.

    Song of the day is Vulfpeck - It Gets Funkier.

    Always. My kids ask what song I am β€˜breathing’ when I am doing chores around the house, as it domes out in my breath as a pseudo whistle without me realizing it.

    Currently it is Regina Spector - Two Birds, as my eldest is obsessed.

    The theme to The Littlest Hobo.

    I had it for like three months.

    My brain is like a playlist with thousands of songs, playing constantly on random. At any time, you could ask me what I have stuck in my head right now and I would have an answer.

    Right now, it's Come Monday by Jimmy Buffett. Yesterday, it was a song from an obscure old musical (the Fantastiks). And the day before that (for no reason I can explain) it was Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead.

    My parents were "Parrotheads" and despite me not really heavily listening to Buffett as an adult, my parents listened to him a lot when I was a kid and I basically still know all the lyrics by heart.

    I was always fond of Pencil Thin Mustache, one of the few times Buffett seemed to sort of channel a different style of music than his usual offerings.

    The only time I don't have something playing in my head is when I am actively listening to music.

    At the moment its the guitar bridge from "In a Big Country" by Big Country. If I pay attention to it the song will continue to the end. But if I'm ignoring it, it'll stay constant guitar solo.

    Every morning since Feb 2 started, I hear "I Got You, Babe" on the radio. I dunno if it'll ever change. I don't even like Sonny & Cher.

    My union has reached supermajority and we're about to go public, so I've been thinking about Pete Seeger's Union Train for the last couple weeks

    The last week or so it's been Too Much Too Young by The Specials. It was on the radio, once, last week and for no good reason I've been stuck with it since. Thanks brain.

    It changes up two to four days.

    Currently it's Witness (Hope 1), by Roots Manuva.

    Last week it was The Caves of Altamira, by Steely Dan

    The worst one I ever had was King of Spain by Moxy Fruvous. Every day for like two weeks I'd wake with it playing in my head. Know all the words now.

    French Class - Robot Tune I saw this little animation a few days ago and since then I can't get this song out of my head. What's cool is the artist actually made this animation their official music video for the song too.

    For me, it changes every few days.

    Right now, it's "Like Chimeras" from the Cassette Beasts soundtrack. Well, to be honest, I've got a bunch of songs from the game stuck in my head, but my brain keeps ending up on that one always.

    at the moment, it's sponge bob theme...

    might just maybe, possibly be, because i have classic (4:3 era) episodes playing on a random loop here for background noise right now.

    Only with entirely wrong lyrics, and often mixed with recent covers.

    I had to look up the title but The Tide Is High, but I always struggle to make out what the words are after "I'm not the kind of girl" and my brain goes on infinite loop trying to figure it out, even losing recollection of what it even sounded like and becoming more incorrect as a result.

    I'm not the kind of girl that looks up from her knees next to daaaad oh noooo ooohhhh Plus the hup hup hup hup from the black vocals remix

    Go Go Power Rangers! Started listening Through The Fire and Flames and somehow the algorithm sneak this one into the list, and now it stuck in my mind for a few days. Yes it's a theme song for a kids show but dang.

    Right now: Witch Image by Ghost. I actually created a playlist to keep track of all the songs that get stuck in my head a while ago, and I'm up to ~36 hours of songs so far. Shuffling that playlist never disappoints, because they're all songs I've been listening to in my head anyway.

    Fire and rain - James Taylor

    Or sometimes Never Going Back - Fleetwood Mac

    When it's driving me nuts I blast the song and sing along on repeat a few times and it stops.
