Do songs that play in your head get so loud as to be distracting?

Does the soundtrack of your life ever get obnoxiously intrusive?


Knowing me, knowing you, ah ha :music:
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you, ah ha
Let's face it this time we're through....



Edit: Added question about source of the music in your head.
 
I picked No and you got problems. It's only minor but I usually have some tune going through my head.

ABBA is the soundtrack of your life?!
 
There have been times I have stopped listening to music completely, because it becomes so intrusive later. I have had a song in my head for TWO DAYS on and off now. And it's so bad sometimes, that I have to scream out loud, "STOP IT!" My wife thinks I'm nuts.

Problem with me, is that I will repeat one phrase of a song over and over and over and over... Part of my OCD for sure. Sometimes I do it out loud, and that is when I get smacked by my wife.
 
How about a place in the poll to include.....
The songs in my head keep playing, but it's great! It's the only way I can memorize them!

I have so many songs memorized word for word it's not funny. But I cannot remember some things I do 2 days after I do them.
For example....... I watch a movie and love it. 3 Days later I tell a friend: I watched a movie over the weekend and they ask: Which one?....... It takes me a while to remember what the hell it was!

It's like your phone number! I never call my own phone, so it took me a LONG Time to memorize it. I remember calling a Pizza place (for delivery) 5mths after I got my new cell phone and they asked: What's your phone number??? Hell if I know!, hold on a sec...... :laugh:

Once I have memorized something though, it's THERE! I still know all the info from the last 3 addresses I've lived at, over the 12 years.


My sis is the same way too.
 
No, and you've got problems. The only time it's slightly annoying is when some stupid song or commercial jingle gets stuck in my head.
 
I have a nice and handy volume knob... just the tuning dial is out of whack and so I can't always control what song my mind would rather play. My inability to pay full attention to a single person or group of people telling a story has nothing to do with the music, it's the TV that's right next to the radio in my head. Ugh, cannot stop myself from focusing on what's on the DayDream Channel.
 
Bump for new question.

ABBA is part of my head music. The songs that really stick are from when I was in middle school and a little before that. Which makes me wonder how other folk's brains work. Does your soundtrack mostly come from earlier in life or mostly more recent music?
 
I've been known to go off the deep end sometimes when I remember a song I recently heard. Like in high school, I got up and left class by accident because I heard "Panama" really loud and wanted a doughnut. Eventually I got back in my mind and almost have this under control...
