I've been feeling very weird past week or so. My brain keeps playing songs in my head over and over and over all day. The song changes anywhere from an hour or so to a day. Today it was a baby song, itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. I think my dad used to sing that to me when an infant. And the past hour it's been a christian song I hadn't heard since a child, VICTORY in Jesus, my Savior forever...
Lol it's really driving me INSANE. Has anyone any idea what can cause this? |

@stahrgeyzer I have no idea but I did find an article by Harvard Health Blog. They call a song in the head an earworm.

@CANDC thanks. That Harvard study is pretty interesting. Maybe it's an attempt of communicate by the subconscious. I'll try to think of it that way and make sense of it.

@stahrgeyzer thought it looked worth a read. @CANDC

You aren't alone in this thing. I've had songs stuck for days in my head. When I was young and in hospital I thought it was a sign of me going crazy, until a nurse explained everyone gets earworms now and then. But a while back, I'd have a song in my head going to sleep, and woke up with the darn thing repeating, must have done that all night? Now that's weird. I wish you the best, hope it goes away on its own.

Hey there stahrgeyzer,
Yeah, the cause of it, wow...I really have no idea. The universe perhaps? For me, that's what everything seems to boil down to. But the fact that both those songs you mentioned are stemming from your childhood might be a clue...I can only speculate.🤔 __________________ "A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it."- Dōgen

It's no fun. Right now my mind is blasting "george, george, george of the jungle! look out for that tree!" It's so weird but all I can do is try to ignore it. I wonder why they call it earworms. That sounds so creepy.

@mote.of.soul that's true a lot of songs are from childhood, it must mean something. Maybe I'll start remembering early childhood memories.

Maybe not endlessly, but every day while cooking, for about two months, I hum the theme song from the old French movie "Un Homme et une Femme" (A Man and a Woman). When I know I'm going overboard I try humming "The Rose", originally sung by Bette Midler. When I think that's too often, I ask for a medley mix of other songs on my Google Nest Hub Max, but I keep going back to the two. Especially the French song.
