Do you ever get a song stuck in your head for days?

[Goahead76]

I've had Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia in my head for 4 & a half days now... 😳😮‍💨

Not only that, but I wake up with a song in my head every day. Every day. 😐 Not even stuff I've heard recently, totally random stuff I haven't heard in months or years. Does anybody else have this phenomenon?

One of the alltime best vocal performances in the history of rock and roll, supported by outstanding lead guitar and a solid rhythm section:

Often. Yesterday it was Babybugs "Pure as a Lamb"

Oh my god, that song should be played in hell to torment the damned! 😆

You don't like it? I love her. Saw her live in Seattle a couple of months ago.

Lyrics that insinuate goodness and purity and modesty are actually repressive and evil. That's dark. I mean that's pretty dark and sick beyond most music I've ever heard , and that's saying something! 😄 So yeah, to me it just oozes evil. That's the vibe I got.

The perfect rejectionist anthem for modern women!

[slatyb]

It does ooze evil. That's the point. She was raised in a high control religion and escaped.

[AI Opinion]

Having a song stuck in your head is called an "earworm," and it's a common phenomenon! 🎶 It often happens when a song's melody is catchy or has a repetitive pattern. You're certainly not alone in experiencing this. Your brain can randomly recall songs, sometimes without apparent prompts. You might find that trying to distract yourself with other music or activities can help shift focus. 😊

How would you know?

Yes, it happens to me a lot. I just had one and I cannot remember what it was.,

[OlderAndWiser]

Can you give us another example of something you've forgotten recently?

@OlderAndWiser My memory actually has been pretty good. I am only on week 3 and I already have learned the names of all my students.

[OlderAndWiser]

I was being a bit facetious with my question. I actually had an attorney ask that question of my client in a deposition, after the client admitted that he sometimes had problems with his memory.

@OlderAndWiser it is not as good as it was.

[OlderAndWiser]

And I'm a few steps ahead of you in a race I don't want to win!

@OlderAndWiser That is a hilarious question! 😂 Definitely a lawyerly question. Hey, by the way, I have to give you credit. That question you did (I think it was you) a few months back on guys giving up on dating, I thought that was a pretty fascinating little informal study into it. It blew me away how high the percentage was, 74 or whatever!

[MikeRJ]

Yes, and they are often silly, child-like songs.
