I hear songs in my head too
Sometimes song sticks to me and doesn't want to go away until I listen to it in real.
Sometimes I translate a song and see myself typing, talking or looking for the word in dictionary.
Sometimes I think of conversations, I make plan or imagine if sth happens, what would I say...

Yep, every single day, usually two or more switch in and out over the course of the day. Currently it's "Never Too Much" by Luther Vandross and "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Iron Maiden. The most random combination I remember was "Raining Blood" by Slayer and the theme song from "Arthur"

Yup, also 24/7. Mainly Rock, Metal, some electronic, and their vaious forms. About half the time I'm playing songs I've heard in my head perfectly, if not, almost perfectly, and the other half of the time I'm improvising music in my head, a lot of which is surprisingly good, and even includes lyrics.

I can do the same thing with video too. I can recall things from shows, movies, and memories very accurately, as well as move through those and other 3d spaces I've make up in my mind. Sometimes I even space out and combine the two for a music video kind of deal.

I get music in my head too. Usually it's not really anything DEFINITE that I can say "yeah, I know that song", but it'll be a chord of a rock tune that makes no sense or sometimes a few notes that switch every few seconds into something different. It seems to happen usually around late afternoon/early evening, and apparently has something to do with Risperdal, because when my risperidone level gets low I'll hear it, and for the first couple hours after taking my pill I'll hear it. Sometimes I'll even get DJ talk, and even radio station ID's. The radio stations that ID don't seem to actually exist, nor play real songs.

The funny thing is, right now I AM getting a real song in my head, It's the one that goes "And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain" that was popular in the US around 1998. I remember listening to it while driving from California into Nevada one time, played on a station out of Reno, so I always remembered it. This is different than THINKING about a song, it's like an auditory hallucination that I can't switch off. If I THINK of a song, I can think of something else. But with the audio hallucination, I can't turn it off.

Life would be boring if I did not hear music in my head.

There is a different between daydreaming music and actually become convinced that you are hearing music that isnt there.

For instance I talk to myself in my own head. But I dont consider that to mean that im hearing voices.

Which one is it exactlly?

Sometimes the same song can stick with me for a week or even two. It gets frustrating after a while.

I've had the finale (if the last 4-5 minutes of a 14 minute song can be considered that) of Telegraph Road stuck in there for a week or so.

Yes. I have music in my head all the time. It is often quite destracting

I was going to post the lyrics of the song 'Just' by Radiohead, but I discovered what I thought I heard as "and that's why we're in your head" was actually "and that's what really hurts".
It would have been perfect.

I am cursed by remembering every song or jingle I've ever heard. Why cursed? Try growing up in Indianapolis in the late 80's early 90's. I don't know what ad agency inflicted this pain on the world, but nearly every radio ad had a jingle and I remember the songs as if I'm still hearing them...

"Keystone Ford, can't be beat, East on Keystone 96th street"

It never ends

Right at the moment I have Spanish flamenco guitar in my head, since I'm practicing a piece for a concert. By the time I play the darn thing I'll probably hate it.

All the time, 24/7, even when I'm dreaming...and its my own music and sometimes its more beautiful than, well, anything. In fact, often I think in terms of music and when I need to engage in conversation I must concentrate on thinking in words. Its even funny when I am running or skiing and those around me have walkmans* and ear buds and they ask me how can I work out without music, and I tell them "I have enough music in my head to last many lifetimes." Then they look at me funny and leave me alone, which is ok with me
