[...] Many people love the holiday season—in fact someone once sang “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” oops I hope I didn’t ruin anyone’s day with an earworm! [...]

Well, like everything else–the more you try to get rid of something the more it comes back. Try to accept your particular song and it should go away. Good luck and take care!

I have been listening to this music in my head for a year now.
It started when I relapsed with alcohol after almost 4 years of absence.
When I sobered up and attempted to sleep I started hearing music.
Whatever I would listen to would stay in my head overnight. I thought I got nuts. It got a little less loud but it still plays in my head overnight and whenever I start thinking about anything. It might be the shock of me experiencing emotional stress over my relapse.
Is there any hope for me and your post helped because now I know it is not anything physical but everything to do with your mind.
Would you please give me a few tips.
Thank you so much.

Some people don’t want to write on ideas like yours. Thank you for taking a subject of today and making it understandable for me to learn more about that I can use in everyday life.

This morning, I decided to research this subject, after having two specific commercial ‘jingles’ stuck in my head for over 48 hours now. It happens to me a lot, and truly FEELS like a psychiatric disturbance at this point! The song even continued to play over and over in my head the minute i woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom… it won’t go away!”Earworms” huh. I like putting names to things but this is an odd one. I hope to find more info on the entire subject. More specifically, what connection there is between anxiety, ocd, and this little brain itch.Thanks as well for the link to Musicophilia.♫♫♪ Cheers! ♫♫♪

Sing away and remember the more you can’t stand something the more it will annoy you.

I do get lines of songs stuck in my head but also now find my brain keeps adding a rhythm to everything I do if I’m not thinking of anything in particular. It’s very annoying and it’s almost a relief to get stuck on a song again

No, you are not nuts. This is very common. Although hearing Cher could be pretty darn uncomfortable. You might want to take a class in meditation. That way you can practice emptying your mind (although you might end us with ummmmmm, hmmmmmm, auuuuuuu). The more you stress over those earworms, the worse they can be. Relax and breathe…

Omg i thought i was nuts!! As far back as i can remember i get songs in my head. A friend told me that its an ocd thing. So here i am looking it up. If domone says something thats in a song i sing it in my head over and over and over till i hear something else. I also wake up everyday with a different song. Could be anything. Today its cher. One morning it was the lavern and shirly song! Wtf?? When i tell u its any song. It is. And not that i just heard it. Its alll day from song to song and usually cant remember it after its gone and onto the next one! Its all day and i hate it. Will i ever stop! I went on vaca this month and on the beach i had a line of a song over and over. Then realized it was the same song last year on the beach in my head. Cant remember it now of course! ” do u belive in life after love after love after love”. Arrrrggg helllllp!!!!
