Yes, I do. I usually have a song playing in my head constantly all day or even television theme songs. Right now I have the Full House opening theme song in my head right now. Annoying? Yes, Why is it playing in my head? Don't ask me why. Actually I think it triggered just by me reading the words Full House online.

Probably not 24/7, but at least 18/7. It is a fairly common thing for my mind to do.

Yes mostly playing the same verse over and over. Yes, I get the trigger thing as well, just reading the lyric is like listening to the song.

Not always, but often. I just have to "play" the first few seconds of a song in my head and voila, my brain plays it on repeat for at least 2 hours.

Among the thoughts and theories almost constantly buzzing in my head, I do get music too. But my radio station would be more inclined to a one-sided talk show.

Yes. It's sometimes random stuff I've not heard for months.

At the moment, it's something I've not heard for years and can't work out what it is. :(

I hate when that happens. I got "Eres Tu" stuck in my head out of nowhere--hadn't heard it since I was a little kid and had no clue what it was. Then I was doing a crossword puzzle a few days later and the clue was "the only Billboard Top 40 hit in Portuguese" and that was the answer 8O .

Sometimes it seems like I do, altho it could just be songs stuck in my head...some of the songs I've had stuck in my head recently are "Loco in Acapulco" by The Four Tops, "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart, "Lifetime Piling Up" by The Talking Heads, and some of the songs from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
