If you think having “It’s a Small World After All” stuck in your head is bad, there is a medical condition that is even worse!; http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/12/healt ... html?8hpib (You may have to temporarily sign up with the New York Times web site to read this.)

Good Lord. Even ITM isn't a guarantee. If I had to listen to The Dingle Regatta Jig or The Concertina Reel over and over for the rest of my remaining life, I would go MAD.

I'm not sure I understand what the concern is with this. I hear music playing in my head constantly - always have. When people talk about getting a tune stuck in their head, I thought it was a common experience, because everyone seemed to be able to relate. If I don't like what's playing, I simply change tunes, but what ever is playing plays constantly until something else starts up a different tune. It may take me a while to even notice that the tune has changed.

No, the difference is that actual auditory hallucination was what the article is about. I have music going on all the time inside, too, but it's not like I'm actually hearing out loud it as if it were from another source, which is what that condition is.djm wrote:I'm not sure I understand what the concern is with this.

I think it is interesting that you guys are hearing music in your heads constantly. Music is in my head sometimes, but by no means all the time.
I think "getting a tune stuck in one's head" is something that happens to everyone----but it is the opposite of what you can do, djm. They don't like the song and they can't change it so it becomes very annoying. Like if you had to listen to "My Grandfather's Clock" over and over and over wouldn't you want to bang your head on something?

Not really. I learned a rather profane version of My Grandfather's Clock, so it would probably keep me entertained. 
I remember when my grandmother was dying of cancer, and they kept her doped to the eyeballs on morphine for weeks. She would be singing away at the top of her voice all these old songs from her childhood. When the nurses came in, she'd urge them to go and tell them boys to stop singing outside her window.

That's kinda creepy.
Yikes! I've heard somewhere before that everything you've heard/done/said is stored in your mind, deep down, hidden where you wouldn't normally have access to recall it all, but it's there. Maybe this is a case where the brain opened a window to an area of that and forgot how to close it. (Not very scientific I know, but.....)
Brains are interesting.....

Well, had emotional significance. After a while of hearing the same thing over and over, unable to get away or turn it off you'd probably hate it and lothe any meaning/memory behind it.From the Article wrote:Dr. Aziz believes that people tend to hear songs they have heard repeatedly or that are emotionally significant to them. "There is a meaning behind these things," he said.
