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.
The Hamster Dance theme, since about 1999 or so.
Witch Doctor - Ooh Eeh Ooh Ah Aah in my case. π
I saw a user profile earlier that said
"There is nothing worse than having a Cranberries song stuck in your head, in your heeeeeeead...."
Greasy Fried Bread from the show Reservation Dogs got lodged in my head for about a week.
Underrated show.

I've had copacabana off and on for about 6 years. Lately it's 25 or 6 to 4.
Raphael's Final Act has been living rent free in my head for a few weeks now.

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 βbreathingβ 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.
Hi Ren by Ren
Ren is so underrated, what a brilliant musician.
yeah, he's my favorite musician β€οΈ
edit: i think it's refreshing to hear music that doesn't follow the standard production. he's a treasure.
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.
I can't listen to or sing (or "sing") A Pirate Looks At Forty or He Went To Paris without getting choked up these days.
RIP Jimmy Buffett.
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.
Like I said before, time loops suck.
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
Lately it's been The Movies - a song by ceilingmouse, using clips from Kitboga (a scambaiter on Twitch).
"I can see right through your disguiiiIIIIISE!" Lmao

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
If left alone with my thoughts for too long, I invariably start humming the Hamsterdance song.

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.

Well this is Lemmy, so i know this will probably get at least 60% of you:
Its been a long roadβ¦
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.
We watch the nephew twice a week, so right now it's some nameless goddamned children's song from one of his shows
Solidly Pale Shelter by Tears for Fears. βHow can I be sure!β
Soulful Strut.
Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner Pops into my head often since the 90s.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Rosana by Wax, very catchy song. "What's my mother fucking name!?"

Cure for this: start singing βJessieβs Girlβ by Rick Springfield. Works every time.
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.
