I don't consider it a problem. I'm usually feeling pretty good, when I get a song stuck in my head. I don't usually get them, to the point, I can't work, concentrate or something. But I get earworms.

I'm too much of a music lover, to think of it as a problem. What a name. EARWORMS. That sounds HORRIBLE!

At least it's not


ear mites. While I agree about the term earworms, I think I understand how it got the name.
I usually get them if I forget my Ipod, and I'm at work. I usually listen to my Ipod, because my co-workers love to chat about the silliest things and it lets me concentrate on my work. Without it, and I think of a partial song all day long.
(Sorry Speber, while your bands' music is great, I have CRS.)

They can bug on occasion. For me it's hymns and music that I've sung in concert or competition.

I get these all the time, at the most random moments. For instance, If some one says something that matches a line from a song i know, I am stuck humming it in my head until the next one comes around.

me and my boss ended up being the only people in the office one day and he says "I think we're alone now" and WHAM! I'm stuck singing "i think we're alone now" by tiffany

wow, thats just evil.

Luckily for me is isn't music. It is thoughts. stuff bothers me, like the name of something or when something came out, i have to get it up and look it up on wikipideia, or watch it on youtube to feel better. usually looking up what ever it is helps me relax.

since we are on puppets,

It won't stop


I hadn't heard the song "Blank Generation" by Richard Hell for years so thought I'd listen to it a couple of days ago. This morning I couldn't get it out of my head. I even listened to it again & it still won't stop.

I started listening to someone else & have 4 other CD's lined up to be played but we'll see if Blank Generation is still in my head when these other CD's are done

A friend and I were talking today at work. He was teasing me about my shuffling along, hands in pocket. I just started singing this.

(Well, the first part, anyway.)
