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

Almost always, but the song changes. Right now it’s Knucklehead by Grover Washington Jr.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

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

Yeah, this weird, orchestral rendition of All Along The Watchtower. It’s the damnedest thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Not every day, every living minute, but quite regularly and throughout the year, the first 4 beats of "Deck the Halls" on infinite loop in a 6/4 beat so after the 4 beats there's 2 beats silence before it begins all over again. Weirdest thing is after all these years I don't even know the text, just the melody.

So how this works is either me or my youngest son start singing or humming the song in our head and the rest of the family catches on. Repeat.

My wife is a songwriter. I have her latest song stuck in my head.

  1. Song is catchy. 2) Animation is so crisp.

Bonus: 1 hour loop of the bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2trHz4_aSg

Oooooooh this one is fun, as I just solved the riddle today! I kept getting Korn's Falling Away From Me stuck in my head, which would morph into other Korn songs, etc. I couldn't figure out why the fuck it was in my head so much. Today in the shower I had Nookie in my head which is a song I only recently remembered existed in the first place. For whatever reason, nookie morphed into In the End. And then. THEN it turned into Falling Away From Me because of the similarities of the piano ending of In the End reminding me of the guitar intro to Falling Away.

I have been going through this for days. It drives me nuts. Why on earth would Nookie be in my head? I'm 37, and I did my time with Limp Bizkit and Korn.. cut to today when my phone alarm went off before work.

I have an alarm set to play The Head That Controls Both Right and Left Sides Eats Meats and Slobbers Even Today, because the beginning is a Japanese woman absolutely shredding vocally. It is a good wakeup.

So. Today, and all last week, I've had a rapid earworm race from The Head-->Nookie-->End-->Falling Away. All the way to work in the morning.

After that it's just whatever is playing around me.

Might change my alarm.

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.

Thank fuck it's not just me, this is very much an ADD thing and sometimes it can get quite annoying but other times I'm just used to it. Right now i'm listening to jazz emu - you can't make me dance

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Allll the time, every day, different music that vary from actual songs to random commercial clips from years ago, playing on repeat. I don't have ADD that I'm aware of, but I also don't find it very distracting, it's just THERE all the time.

Today it's "Mary Jane's Last Dance" by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Why? No clue, I can't remember when I heard that song last.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

No, I’m usually actually listening to music or a podcast.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Uh Jitterbug

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Only when I'm not listening actively to something else. Right now it's Snow Brigade by Mew, until i get ready to leave and put on some music.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I woke up remembering a dream I had a couple nights ago, I dreamt I was a passenger in a car and I randomly started singing a Milli Vanilli song.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

For literally decades, it has been Stray Cat Strut. Although fairly recently, it has switched to Epic by Faith No More. The latter I cannot explain. The song is pretty terrible., and I’m not a fan of the band. It’s gotta mean something, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

For the past month or so it's been SPECIALZ by King Gnu. AKA the fourth OP of Jujutsu Kaisen.
