Damned random earworms in my head!

My last pair of earbuds went out, so in the interim before getting a new set, I've been without my usual music.

Last two days I've had some truly random songs pop into my head, stuff that I doubt I'm hearing anywhere.

Early yesterday was Guns N Roses, I think it was Patience, or November Rain. I forget now. Then yesterday afternoon was "You're the one that I want" from Grease.

Now this morning it's "Home on the Range." WTF? Where did that one come from?

Anyone else get completely random songs in their head?

I do, all the time.

The closing credits theme from Red Dwarf has been stuck in my head all afternoon today.

Goldfish shoals, nibbling at my toes. Fun, Fun, Fun in the Sun, Sun, Sun. All. Afternoon.

All the frickin' time.

Recently I've had "The Chain" stuck in my head, but that makes sense because I saw Guardians of the Galaxy 2 over the weekend. Also, "Don't Stop Believing" is stuck in my head now because it was playing in a store I just visited.

But other times it's completely random. Or triggered by some phrase.

Even worse are random movie quotes/scenes that I can't remember the context of.

That sounds more creative than counting sheep!

Nah, I cave in and look at the dreaded IMDb for stuff like that. Sometimes if I feel like something is on the tip of my tongue I'll mull it over for a while and try to come up with it on my own.

Before bed, my mind wanders off so far I don't even bother rearing it in.

I always do that. Sometimes my sister will look it up and give me little hints, like if I'm hot or cold.

You aren't alone. Everyone gets some song stuck in their mind at one time or another. I know it can drive you crazy. Sing it to somebody else. songs have a way of jumping from head to head. [smiley face]

I can see someone walking down the street, singing something catchy, while others run away screaming "HE'S INFECTIOUS! HE'S SPREADING EARWORMS!"

Or she... But I think a woman walking around singing would be more likely to get people to join in. With a guy, he's most likely a crazy person.

" With a guy, he's most likely a crazy person."

Well, like I said.... it can drive you crazy.
