It can be considered OCD if it is chronic and interferes with sleep, e.g. IcyPeas Jun 2021 #20

I was thinking about that but they are so expensive.... Anyway....I get hooked on one song and go crazy on it. Then I move on and do it again. I like it.

Yellow Submarine. Knocks the earworm right out and does not take its place. It's also my go-to method of calming down in a tense driving situation, like in a blizzard or hauling teenagers around.

Usually classical music because that's what I mostly listen to. Sometimes some bit of music will get stuck in my head and get played there over and over for hours, until I chase it out with some other music.

Tends to be the last music I heard. Really irritating when its from some damn commercial.

My song to sing to override earworms? Sweet Baby James.

because it was so loud in my head.

Ear worms are chronic but for me it has something to do with certain songs. Some just get stuck stuck. Others can be replaced the next time I listen to something else.

Lately, old songs have been randomly popping in and that's freaky. As in ballads or movie themes I haven't heard or thought about in years.

As long as you remember the product with it.

I did that with. Heard it on a TV show and loved it, bought it on iTunes and listened to it constantly for a couple of weeks.

My latest is Believer, original and medieval version. At times I've had my own radio station in my head playing song after song, even switching songs if I didn't particularly like one.
I really only noticed all of this after I heard a distant relative was going to be totally deaf by 60.

I took it out of the car's CD player. Paul McCartney's "Flaming Pie." I love it!
