Yes. It comes and goes as part of my Pure O OCD condition. Its a common "neutral Obsession" part of a hyper awareness that many ocd sufferers with image or perfectionistic tendencies have.

I have found that I have success quieting the songs when I focus not so much on the song but the anxiety behind why the song is bothersome. When I find myself frustrated and on the verge of going crazy ( not really) I engage and go with that anxiety observing it rather than fighting it. I then continue on my life path. My brain then usually gives up sending me the alarm that the songs must stop because I don't react to the alarm.

Hope this makes sense. Bottom line is that your brain must know that YOU are willing to face a constant onslaught of these intrusive songs without escape. it will then not bother to send the alarm.

Its a paradox - the only way out is IN.
Thanks for this!
