The song enters your thoughts and you immediately say to yourself (Why am I thinking about this song?" It is impossible to try and not think about something, so just try and focus your thoughts on a completely different subject.

Usually the last song I hear on the way to work is the one that I can't get out of my head for the rest of the day. It's a real pain if it happened to be some crappy one that I didn't like!!

well the thought process is a very complicated thing. the human mind is the most elaborate and high tech computer there is. when it hears a song it stays [programmed , and it is hard to over ride but try to think of something else and eventually it Will go away.

Oh God yes it happens to me. Watched Walk the Line a few months ago and I'm still humming the songs and I flippin well hate country and western music. [Great film though]

yes, it's a tricky thing. I just hate to sing songs I don't even like, but they simply nest inside my mind when, for example, I pass by a cafe with the loud music playing in, or something like that. it's hard to avoid it without an effort. I can't explain the thing exactly, it's more like that I agree with you.

It happens to me almost daily but very few people seem to get it? I've even taken to ensuring the last song before I get to work is one I like or it annoys me all day.

Aaargh!! It happens to me all the time. The other night I had a radio jingle going round and round in my head for ages when I was trying to sleep. It kept me awake. "It's the Chris Moyles Show, it's the Chris Moyles Show" Why oh why?!!

Oh no! I thought I had got rid of a song that has haunted me for months and read your question and wham! It came back...
Hallelujah Jeff Buckley, just turned channel over and there it was - again... I love it but I wish it would give me a break!

That is a good question, and I've never thought about the why before, at least not neurologically. Maybe this link can help you find out more.
