it's worse when you have a song stuck in your head but you can't even remember how it goes so it's just randomness and a few notes repeating constantly
Yea
y e h
And it gets even worse when you don't remember the song's name and you just can't look for it.
That happened to me with "toxic" for an entire week. It was so satisfying when I finally remembered the basic word of all the song.
@@missqueen20_ yess
Try to say that to “Its just a burning memory”.
This may sound strange, but a way I’ve learned to often help deal with “ear worms” is to imagine the *end* of the song playing, and then immediately try to think of something else afterward. It doesn’t work 100% of the time, but it has helped me on many occasions!
Nyan cat has no end. Please help
Or just listen to the song ones. Chewing gum should help as well.

Am I the only one that always has music playing in their head all day, every day? Because mine practically never stops! There's always some sort of song playing, unless I'm actually listening to music, which is the only time it goes away. I've had full songs, parts of songs, instrumentals, and even songs I hadn't heard in years randomly pop into my head at all hours of the day. It's so constant to me that it just blends into the background, like my own little soundtrack. Is anyone else like this or is it just me?
That's really common in people with Adhd :) I got diagnosed with inattentive ADHD. If it gives you issues, go on reddit and look it up, we share a lot of advice on there :)
I have this. Its like a radio in my head! I also just skip the song if I dont like it so the next one will start 💀. I dont mind it since it entertains me xP.
In my case it's silence, silent ambience, monologue or a dialogue on hard and harsh topics.
I really struggle with this 🙏🏻
😢Me too from the age of 8
I once had "I want it that way" by the Backstreet boys stuck in my head for a month on end. I thought I was going insane. It didn't leave until my sister played the whole song instead of just the one part.
I did too! But instead of the original it was a cover of in the opening scene of an episode of Brooklyn 99. Listening to the original didn't do anything. I believe it was a different cover by the present day backstreet boys that did it in.
Yeah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
"Cant get you out of my head" as an earworm. How fitting.
Or try "All in my head" by Enkay47. Sarah Cleary (don't know if I spelled her name right) will get stuck in there.
And I CANT GET U OUT, of my, MI mi.---
I like your pfp
I dont want to get drowned but i have so many msm songs in my head
It’s all fun and games till you have the entire track of “everywhere at the end of time” stuck in your head
A person of culture... Did u actually listen to the whole thing
I'd be drying 24/7
that's a terrifying thought
Ah yes, a man of culture.
Thats just tinnitus
Lately my husband and I have been passing “Mixed Nuts” from Spy x Family back and forth between us.
I think what usually helps me with my ear worms is learning the song in-depth and practicing/rehearsing it till it’s performance ready 😅
Spy x Family is such a W TV show
This happened to me, and eventually turned into voices as well. I am surprised I was not hospitalized in that time. It happened for around 1 year. I could only sleep with a radio, and only hearing other noises and music would make it go away while hearing those things. Any classical piece or any type of music could become an ear worm. I still can not listen to some songs without fearing that they will trigger an episode again. And then, whenever I heard another song, that would become trapped in my head and constantly repeating. My brain somehow forgot the songs on the radio, as I was falling asleep.
I did not know at first if I was actually hearing things or not. I have had it happen in the last 5 years as well. It happened around a year and a half ago for 2 months. Before that, it only happened for around 1 week.
I really feel you here. I have the same thing, it's really annoying. Sometimes I have issues with my sleep because of that :(
@@Dirlcutto I am curious, but, how do you handle it? I am now on medication that helps with that stuff.
@@Creepy_Cuckooclock I can't handle it still 😅 My psychiatrist gave me some pills, but it doesn't work
oh my god thats crazy sorry dude :(😕😓😫
@@Mrpancake-lol124 Tell me about it; I thought I was losing my mind completely.
"Musical itch" sounds very accurate. It's like my brain is stuck in one little piece of the song and, for me, listening to the whole song is usually the most effective way to "scratch the itch" and get my brain through the rest of the song.
Conversely, if I listen to a catchy song and stop it partway into the chorus (or otherwise the catchy part), that's the most effective way to get it stuck.
What if you don't remember the other parts then you have to listen to it again then
Like "baby shark" :')
My brain finds common leitmotifs and makes little mashups. Its hard to remember the originals to make the mashups online
Same for me! If a sing is stuck in my head, then I tend to listen it in full once, and then it gets un-stuck.
@drew The literal translation of ohrwurm is ear worm as in an animal that lives in your ear not “ear itch”
As someone with OCD, ear worms can be BRUTAL. Sometimes it’ll take hours to fall asleep cause five different songs are looping in my head. Sometimes screaming a song in my head that never becomes a ear worm is the only way to drown them out. Fortunately most of the times it’s songs that I like, but even those are anxiety inducing.
I myself find that saying `no' over and over again out loud works the best. My OCD isn't nearly as bad as it used to be, but only because of years of therapy and actively working on it. That was my go-to option for when something got stuck in my head when I was younger though. It worked for words, phrases, images, and clips, too
Do you ever get random phrases stuck in your head? It happens so often for me, especially at work. Alliteration is mainly what causes it but I also get the same two Beethoven symphonies stuck in my head all the time. And atleast one a day the song snippet “I saw the signs that opened up my eyes I saw the sign” will repeat.
@@super_nova_1 hmmm I don't know about random phrases. If it has some sort of rhythm to it, it might even if it's not part of a song, but not often for me.
I can't tell if I have ear worms or not, but the song that I really like often played in my head, but I don't have a problem about it at all
i felt the "five songs" thing, as literally all of my thoughs are going bonkers at every hour, minute and second of the day, including how only one is the main thought at the time, and the others are STILL going mad while i try to focus on one.
I've been diagnosed with OCD and while my earworms have never been outright debilitating, they have been to the point of extremely obnoxious before, especially around the time when I was going through puberty. Two that I remember were when I was around 13 and heard Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" for the first time playing in a store, then was awake in bed until nearly 6am that night with that xylophone loop playing VIVIDLY in my head over and over again, and sometime not long after that, I think I was 14, I had the chorus of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" stuck in my head nonstop for nearly an entire month.
My mom suffered head trauma in a car wreck and suffered a few neurological effects, including some memory loss and inability to recall words in conversation. She's mostly recovered now, but one of the long-lasting effects was getting lyrical songs stuck in her head REALLY easily and struggling to get rid of them. She basically just can't listen to any music with lyrics in English anymore. Instrumentals and non-English lyrics don't bother her, at least.
"If you have a song stuck in your head, you might have a earworm."
My brain:
*What you know about rollin down in the deep*
Right? Lol. I especially love a remix version of it by the Cheer Brothers called Banjo in the Ocean
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down!
@@fabianbuthere9039 drown*
what do you know about mining diamond ores with a sTeVe
When these people talk too much just put that sh*t in slow motion yuh
the fact that “cant get you out of my head” is a common ear worm is ironic
Not ironic, it’s expected
I think it's still ironic even if it's in purpose
The worst one I've ever remembered is the commercial jingle "gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now!" For something to help people with small bladders or something. Used to despise that commercial & I can still remember the song all these years later
Wouldn't it actually be ironic if the song were something like "I never can remember..."?
That's just like the Catchy song from the Lego movie 2. It literally says it's gonna get stuck inside your head lol.
I have a weird quirk: I wake up almost _every_ morning with a different song stuck in my head and it goes away once I listen to music to do my steps. This is normally something I actually listen to (it's on my iPod), but not always. While I _do_ have vivid dreams, the songs are not heard _in_ them and are selected either at random or by some subconscious algorithm I don't yet understand upon waking.... Operative word being "yet" lol. I'm actively trying to figure out the logic.
@MrHolyKindness Yeah, I don't get that very often. If my dreams don't include the song (which they don't), I'll wake up with a different one in there or none at all. My subconscious has numerous weird rule I'll spend the rest of my life identifying and analyzing lol
I haven't heard Don't Stop Believing in years and it still gets stuck in my head frequently. Thanks for reminding me....
My personal favorite is when I get two completely different songs stuck in my head at the same time. They play simultaneously. I can alternate lines from each song as I sing along. It's kind of fun.
I've had 3 at the same time. Sometimes they play at the same time, sometimes they alternate lines. I find it aggravating.
waht hoW
I sometimes hear undertale song mixed with super mario song in my head
yep that's viva happy and white happy for me
both get stuck in my head
i alternate between lines when singing it
It's even funner when the song has the same bpm and you can make a sick mashup
So.... songs constantly in your head every waking moment ISN'T normal?
I can't believe such things
hahaha
Yes
That's preposterous. I always have music playing in my head. But it's probably because I am an INTP.
No it’s normal
Not only do I get songs in my head, but also lines from movies too. It becomes like a weird compulsion for me to say it out loud too. I drive my husband nuts when I walk around the house saying “ye fond of me lobster, ain’t ye?” 67 times before 10am.
Oh my god. I’ve been there. It was crippling for a year. Now I’m on meds. Thank goodness. I feel for anyone that’s experienced this.
I’m going through this. It’s so annoying, what meds have helped?
"There's some wh*res in this house," was stuck in my heas for 2 days after hearing WAP once.
The ben shapiro version?
I think that you might have cause to sue.
That one got so bad for me that it actually made an appearance in a dream for me.
I had the one line with a curse word stuck in my head and I had to force myself to not sing it in front of my young cousins.
saaaaame
I never thought having a ear worm could be a bad thing... sometimes I get a catchy song in my head, and I will sing it in my mind a couple of times while working or doing something, but I never thought it could be a very bad negative thing... but I guess anything can be bad if it becomes too overbearing for a person
Yes, it does!
I wake up in the night and "hear" again that piece of music which stuck with me, before I went to bed😖
@@Nxf3li_ Nice, that it works like this for you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I tried it and it was like "sugar for the ape"😱means, became worser.
Hope, to find a way to stop the mad DJ in my head😉
Honestly, I've never really understood the whole 'Ear Worm' concept, mostly because I don't really hear them. The closest thing I can think of is when I start singing randomly, but I don't really hear music in my head. Then again, maybe I'm confused.
@@FloraGaleFlower Then thank God, that you don't have them😅😅😅
It's EVERYWHERE & EVERYTIME, and everything which is "too much" can become a burden.
Just imagine for example :
"Hey Jude" is stucking with you...just the beginning🤷🏻♀️
OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
You talk to someone : "Hey Jude..."the person is asking or answering "Hey Jude" -
It feels, as if someone helds a small loudspeaker to your ears and the beginning starts again, and again and AGAIN!
It's hard to follow the conversation without screaming in between "Hey Jude"
You are in public - it's there🙄you hear the sorounding noises like everyone else...but with the f... song, that's stuck with you.
You go to bed - it's there!
You sleep - it's there!
You wake up and the first thing you notice : it's there😖😖😖
You can nothing do against it🤷🏻♀️😖
Just try it out - play a few seconds of a song, over and over again and it will annoy you pretty soon🙄
@@bettinalose2305, Awe geeze, I hope things get better for you! Also, I sorta know the feeling of wanting to escape a sound that is going on inside your head, as I have tinnitus or ear ringing. It sounds a bit like those bird and bat deterrent things that some stores use but somehow even higher pitched.
Thankfully, I've found ways of managing it, but for the first little there while I felt like I was gonna snap. I usually end up playing music over the sound of the high pitched screeching in my ears. Unfortunately, sometimes the ringing is so loud it drowns out most everything else out to the point I can't really hear anything.
Sometimes I’ll have a song stuck in my head, then I’ll think of another one and my mind will immediately merge the two songs together or their lyrics together. So whenever I think of either of the songs I’ll think of the other and think of the mixed version and I can never get rid of it-. It’s kind of annoying but fun.
This has been my whole life, I wake with a random song and go to sleep with a random song.
I had Hamilton on loop for well over a year.

"Katy perry" is a weird way to spell jontron
I have BPD and ADHD, and some days I'll get an earworm playing LOUDLY on repeat for up to weeks at a time. If it's not music it's a monstop stream of internal monologue and dialogue.
Thankfully nowhere near as extreme as this case, though
Earworms only exists because the brain wants to know the full lyrics, while we can only remeber a few lines at the time it occurs. So the easiest solution is to actively and consciously listen to the song once or twice so that you know the lyrics and bäm, the earworm is gone. Works 100% of the time.
So explain instrumentals, then.
@@simonzinc-trumpetharris852 same explanation. Just replace lyrics with melody.
“shawtys like a melody in

Thanks, now it's stuck in my head. :)

For some reason I looked up Adam's Song a few days ago and I can't get just random lyrics out of my head. I don't even like Blink 182. It's torture.
I guess you could say there are voices inside your head (I’m sorry)
Stuck with sorrows of tomorrow.
@randomdoodification ngl i dont
@randomdoodification i think blink 182 is pretty good.
That song is very powerful.
I had a song stuck in my head for months, almost 30 years ago. It wasn't even a song i really liked or even knew all the lyrics. It was The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, of all things. Just randomly popped in my head one day and wouldn't leave. I ended up buying a whole album just for that one song (30 years ago, no streaming. It was a CD though 😂) and i listened to that song on repeat until i knew every word and then it finally left. It's still kind of a running joke between me and my husband.
6:12 IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW CUTE THIS IS????
imagine getting “never gonna give you up” stuck in your head
i sing that when taking a shower.
If that happens then u r just rickrolling yourself over and over which would be very funny
Dangit now I'm thinking about it.
Currently dancing like a fool to it, I'm just letting it happen...
Oh god! Yes. Thanks for reimplanting that earworm into my brain. Where's the mind bleach?
A friend of mine said that while he’s at work sometimes he’ll play a little game. He’ll randomly sing or hum a line from a popular song but not complete the whole phrase or part of the song so that it doesn’t resolve. He’ll just stop sort of abruptly. Then usually, people who heard it will subconsciously feel the need to resolve it, so they get that song stuck in their head too. He says usually he’ll hear people humming or singing that same song at some point later in the day.
EDIT: An example, from this video, California Girls. He’ll just go: “California girls we’re unforgettable.. 🎶 “ ..and that’s it.
That's evil but I like it
We had a relative staying with us for a while; she's a professional orchestral musician. She had a practice session every day. This often consisted of practicing phrases with difficult fingerings. She'd often just stop half way through a bar, not completing it. It was the most maddening thing imaginable.
"...DAISY DUKES BIKINIS ON TOP!" Look at what you've done to me! Now that song will never go away!
Derren Brown did something similar to this. It was set up as a mind reading truck, but he'd actually been setting the guy up all day by sneaking that song into his environment all day.
Sounds like a psychopath to me.
joji songs, Jack Stauber songs, and JAWNY songs keep getting stuck in my head so bad that anytime I'm not listening to them, I'm humming them. I have OCD too and I never knew those were connected.
I’m surprised this hasn’t gotten copyright claimed yet.
Maybe the key to evading copyright claims is to sing the song badly enough.
@@thesuperdak7224 the real strategy is singing so bad that the original artist does not want to associate with the excuse of a sound that was made
DON’T GIVE THEM IDEAS!!!!!!
@@thesuperdak7224 In USA there's already been a lawsuit (specifically the Xmas songs someone made and a buncha ppl singed), which was ruled as baseless: singing a song, no matter how well, more often than not doesn't have a copyright protection. I think there are some instances where there is, but that's all I know.
An automated check has made that error before, but it's just as equally baseless.
She waited 12 years to go to a doctor?! That sounds about the amount of time I wait too.

Once had a week of insomnia where the opening riff to Diary of a Madman kept playing in my head on repeat. I still can't hear that song start up without a little spike of panic, but thankfully it has not returned to haunt me.
5:38 once the yiay song got stuck in my head for a long time... Thankfully i forgot almost all the lyrics
Edit: i think that was the only time i got a song stuck in my head unwillingly
my brain sometimes just decides
"I'm gonna rick roll you all day now"
dang it you just made me think of the song and basically rick rolled me
The drum from the start now plays in my head.
Funny that he mentions chewing gets songs out. For me I'll get Rickrolled by the rhythm of my chewing.

I had this happen to me, whole songs would play in my head. Every day, even in my dreams. I swore there was a radio playing because some of the songs I didn’t know all the words to would play perfectly. It was so exhausting to constantly hear this songs. Finally figured out it was because of my mania and I’m now on meds for it.
As a musical instruments passionate, I feel more likely to have the instruments sounds, rather than the songs themselves, stuck in my head as “fully playable (and FULLY EDITABLE! OMG!) earworms”,that for me is a pleasant sensation, because I can clearly guess the synth that originated that sound by a combination of my knowledge and internet researches, and with many more internet researches about many various musical instruments and genres, find also out that I’m even capable of editing the sounds stuck in my head by associating them to the original (or an imaginary one, in alternative)synthesis chains,and hardwares (real or imaginary) (OMG) of the instruments themselves! XD This also means that I can create new music with TOTALLY NEW ORIGINAL sounds that the instruments stuck in my head can make (by mentally tweaking them)! So, at least for me, is possible to have THE REAL (AND/OR IMAGINARY) INSTRUMENTS IN THEIR FULL BEAUTY themselves, rather than the sounds (or the songs), stuck in my head!
I have OCD and I haven't watched a Disney movie since I was in the 6th grade because the songs would get stuck in my head for months and literally made me have a mental breakdown at one point because I couldn't get it out of my head. I also just tend to avoid kids media and musicals in general now.
I have "Don't stop me now" living rent free in my head.

When I have songs stuck in my head, I find that it sometimes helps to listen to covers or even remixes of the song. Hearing a different take on the song, especially the earworm part, kinda breaks it up.
i have a similar case with megalovania and yeah i can a test to say that i works
What a coincedence "Don't Stop Believin'" has been stuck in my head for, like 20 years!
Listening to the song stuck in my brain, sometimes twice, is almost an instant cure everytime.
Hi, I lost hearing in both my ears on a plane (not during ascend or descend). Specialists have no idea why it happened and they apparently got to write a study on it because it was so unique. I’m in my early 20’s and the only possibility they could see was my blood genotype deformity. After a month my left ear came back 50% but my right ear never did. Can you do a video on this?
Oh my! I always see people saying they lost their hearing on planes but they only last a few minutes after the plane

Occasionally I hear alarms at random times. I know that they're coming from my head because no one else hears them, but they sound like they're coming from elsewhere. It's very odd.
Its from another dimension
It's not unusual to have auditory hallucinations of alarms or phones or doorbells ringing. Or one's mom or someone else one lives with calling one. They're generally pretty faint in my case.
I hear the alarm from the door dash system from the restuarant I work at ,while I'm at home sometimes or even at work when it hasnt gone off in a while 😂

That's so interesting about the complexity having something to do with it! I used to have a real problem with ear worms that made it difficult to sleep, but as I studied music more and spent more time listening to and playing complex pieces, my earworm problem just went away and hasn't returned.
The trauma surrounding my mother's Alzheimer's and death launched nonstop music in my right ear. It really sounded as if I was hearing an external sound - it was a choir humming songs in unison. (My mother was a classical singer and was in her church choir for close to 50 years). The first song was the famous sextet from the opera "Lucia di Lammermoor." After awhile there were more songs. I longed for silence but it never came. One thing that drove me nuts was that the choir _could not_ sing a half-step correctly. I had to teach them how to do it, using the song "Bali H'ai" from the musical _South Pacific_ (which is chock full of half-steps). This started in early 2008. Now my tinnitus is so bad that I don't always hear music, and when I do (some song or other always starts up when I get up in the morning), it's more in my head than in my ear. But it has never interfered with getting things done, unless I can't remember what the song IS! I finally identified a piano piece as a Chopin Prelude (Op. 28, No. 5, 'Raindrop') a couple of weeks ago, to my great relief.
I never thought I would ever be more terrified of realistic art of poeple with no noses.

I was exactly like her as a kid, constantly having random bits of songs stuck in my head for days on end. the worst was the insomnia, and the anxiety all day that the song stuck in my head would keep me up all night ☹️
I've had similar issues with OCD, my head just playing songs that bother me over and over non-stop, songs that annoy me or make me sad, just playing in my head for so long that it starts to genuinely stress me out and cause a feeling of weight in my head.
It makes me lose sleep sometimes.

Oh i feel that.
I randomly say Bleistift and i just dont know why
This is strange that a psychologist coined the term earworm in the late 1970s. I grew up in the Germany in the 1970s and the word "Ohrwurm" was colloquial already for any song that played up and down the radio.
Had my first earworm last week, I was stressed about something then I started hearing we'll meet again coming from what sounded like another room in my house which was kind of terrifying even though I knew it was in my head.
Prepare for the ultimate ear worm: "All I want for Christmas, is you!" in 3 months
in 2 days now.
Now one day
I once had the song Locked Away stuck in my head every hour or so, everyday for 7-10 months. The weirdest thing was that it was never my favorite song. You'd think I would've been suffering all that time, but truth be told; It never stopped me liking the song, think differently about it or get tired. It was just constantly inconvenient because I had to focus on very boring class work.
Same, A year ago during an exam the song "Finale" from undertale played on loop and i still liked the song. Not as intense as your case, it was like for 5 months since it also happened to me while i was in a quiz.

I've had "original" songs play I my heart my dreams, sometimes based on existing songs or pieces of music.

For some reason, this sounds like an SCP.
Because it is
@Keyla Auditia Widjaja No im kidding but it would be a cool scp
There are several based around music and musical devices.

Pretty sure there is a music related scp
I had Rocket Man by Elton John stuck in my head every waking moment for 6 weeks in my mid 20s.
Finally got rid of it when I mentioned it with a group of friends and we all started singing it for the rest of the evening at random.
At least that’s a really good song
I've had "The Duck Song" stuck in my head for the past decade despite not having listened to it since 2012

This is a great video about earworms, but...
By the description of the symptoms, her several diagnoses and successful treatment, this woman was most likely having musical auditory hallucinations. Most people associate auditory hallucinations with voices, but in can be music too. I have this. It's as if someone made a playlist of music that you have varying degrees of familiarity with and you can hear them playing it, but you can't find the source. Obviously this is your brain doing this, but it's still interpreting as if you are hearing it from an outside source, not as if it's running through your head like an earworm. It happens to me when I'm stressed out (I have bipolar and general anxiety disorder) and I've lost many nights of sleep because of it. It took me a long time to realize this was because of my disorders and needed to be treated. Hopefully it can help someone else.
How did you get rid of it
The medication I take now is working really well for me and I have a lot less stress in my life. I've made a lot of life changes to take better care of myself. It still happens occasionally, but not enough to really bother me anymore.
i thought this too! but in the video it seems that she noted that the music was coming from her head. i think they would also have an easier time diagnosing and treating her if it was audio hallucinations, and we wouldnt have this cool video :D
@@artistdead I have had both external and internal auditory hallucinations. it's definitely possible. but I think you are right about what she was experiencing.
No, if it were auditory hallucinations she wouldn't have been able to distinguish they were coming from her brain. It would sound like it was playing in the room or whatever. OCD causes thoughts to become "stuck", like along, and the more she worried/thought about it the more it would stick. I have OCD and it's happened to me before. You have to break the spiral and think about something else completely which is insanely difficult.
Great now I’m stuck on “watermelon sugar HIGH” Thanks BREW
You should be thanking Chill, he (I think it’s a he-) was the one singing it
I always thought it was "Watermelon Sugar Pie," which sounds awful.
@@justluna8729 Yeah Chill is a he
4:46 I actually have an ear worm if my song “higher” and that came as new information that it’s uncommon to get one of a song you made yourself😭
Bruno. It haunts me. It lives in my brain, rent-free and sassy. I haven't even seen the movie yet.
I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE YET
I just sing along (in my mind, not out loud if I'm in a public place or working, out loud at home), and mentally imagine myself singing and dancing to it like there's no tomorrow, then I go and listen to it on repeat until I get tired of it. If you can't win them, join them.

Dude
I got an earworm of A MAN HAS FALLEN FOR AN E-GIRL IN LEGO CITY
Legit I keep repeating it in my head it hurts hard
@@ShrimpFry_Cute oh, rip, that’s a song?
This happens to me fairly often. A song will play in my head, not a partial clip, but an entirely formed song, start to finish, over and over at a loud internal volume, usually when I am trying to sleep. Another of my fun psychoses my doctor couldn't explain.
When I was a kid, my mom had a ringtone on her phone called the "Whistling Wizard" (you may know the one). I would randomly hear it throughout the day, even when she and her phone weren't around.
I deliberately try to keep a song in my head. I can even change the song when I want to. It actually helps me concentrate. When I can't keep music in my brain, I can't focus.
Classic ADHD. I'm with ya
@@matthewstraine2999 interesting diagnosis.
same bro
i dont try to but i have it in my head either way
my brain's like a radio at this point
This is actually how I choose what song to listen to. Whenever I want to listen to music, I just think "ok, what's a song I like" and wait for one to get stuck in my head, than I listen to it, and if I want another, I just do the same thing. It's like having a mental Radio Station.
Well, I had more than 1 song, First is "Copycat" by CircusP, Second is "Dollhouse" by Melanie Martinez, Third is "16 Shots" by Stella D., Also, there's few more songs, "Rhinestone Eyes", and "Far Away", and "Build a bi****". "Build A Bi****" were my favorite song that could be used when Rely goes to Northland High School. Also yes I can't hear songs on the right ear. It's just because I'm different to the people.
for the past four years i have had the same two tunes stuck in my head. thankfully they only go off when, like you said, im not doing anything and my brain is idle and i dont mind it. but its interesting. I remember i used to get other songs stuck in my head but now its only a select few. maybe cause i stopped listening to car radio and have my own playlists i listen to. who knows!

i got a scary song on tiktok, it went stuck in my head, and it was looping every 16 seconds. the song sounded like tooo, tu tuuu, tu tuuuuuuu, TUUUUUU, TO TO tu TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. i got when i heard it on "the worst windows errors." It's stuck in my head to this day.
fun fact : this guy and final destination are the only two things that managed to eternally scar me and make me scared of almost everything
no shame in not watching something if it hurts you.

Your entrance song is awesome!!!
I had a song stuck in my head for 2-3 weeks straight. I still went to work and did my job. Didn't affect my relationships with people. I find that I just move in time to the songs I'm addicted to.
I usually get earworms of songs I was listening to on loop not long before, and it usually happens right when I'm trying to sleep. I just "imagine" the end of the song and try to "imagine" other things, like another song, to try to counter it. Weirdly enough, forcefully "imagining" music box version of lullabies works pretty well, as well as paying attention to my own breathing, and imagining that I'm deep underwater.
Most earworms for me are songs I just recently discovered, or rediscovered after a long time of not hearing it, and fell obsessively in love with right away. I find what works best to unstick one is to listen to the song on repeat until it eventually becomes _too_ familiar and recitable, losing that exciting novelty that made my brain latch onto it. It usually takes a couple days of that and then the earworm goes away.
the song "shawty like a melody in my head that I can't keep out, got me singing like na na na na everyday like my iPod stuck on replay" has been stuck in my head for a little over 9 years
A few months ago i got the song "CPR" stuck in my head and it wasn't the most pleasant experience...
7:36 They used the artwork from Hades. There is a noise "Ah-Wah" when you go through a portal in Hades. It reminds me of "Diamonds on the soles of her shoes".
"Can't get you out of my head" as an earworm is just... poetic!
Darn it... now I've got that song in my head. Ah well. Good thing I like kylie. Heh
