A term for "songs getting stuck in your head on a loop".
Often when I hear a new song on the radio and then download it on to my phone from YouTube and listen to it, it becomes stuck in my head and plays on a loop.
I know everybody gets this but it drives me mad! It's like a tinnitus but in my brain instead of my ears, but still just as annoying and distracting.
I've tried listening to the newly-downloaded song on my phone a few times today so that the loop might break in my head, but it didn't. I tried memorizing the end of the song so that I can play the end in my head (apparently that's supposed to trick your brain into thinking that the song is finished), but each time I do that the same loop plays over again, over and over. Aaaarrrggghhhh!! !
I've even tried doing a puzzle but my brain seems to multitask; playing a song on a loop whilst being able to solve a puzzle! And I've even tried (silent) reading but then I start to read the words in the tune of the song in my head!
Jesus Christ, WHEN WILL THIS LOOP STOP???! ! !
Ps. It's the song "Hymn for the weekend" by Coldplay. I heard it on the radio the other day and decided I liked it, but now the main chorus won't stop playing in my head!
I had the same song stuck in my head. For me only playing another song can break the loop. Even white noise usually helps me. I play whitenoise every night or I would not sleep due to repetitive thoughts, songs loops being the most common.
