I definitely experience racing thoughts during hypomania, mania, and mixed states. The "flavor" affects the topics that go on. Elated, extra extra frustrated, depressed mixed in, anxious? It varies. I, too can have a lot of repetative stuff going on then. Not just songs/sounds, but phrases. Some are self cheering on. Others can be declarations of joy. When mixed, fantasies of violence even though I'm not generally a violent person. When I become so, it's only directed at either myself or maybe a wall/inanimate object, even if directed towards others in my mind. Daydreaming of various sorts increases. I can start to feel distant from myself.

When very manic, my thoughts race so much that it's like a chaos of everything, with multiple stuff happening in there rapidly and simultaneously. Sometimes to the point of a type of explosion.
Oh @Soupe du jour I think I daydream more when unwell too! And I get phrases stuck in my head too, like Ill hear one word and that will remind me of a phrase, which just goes over and over in my mind. Sometimes I say it out loud (I dont always even recognise that Ive said it out loud).

Its so odd how the mind works, isnt it?
