I hear music I like. Then it goes through my head hour after hour, week after week. I wake up in the middle of the night and i hear the music.
I check the internet to find out who played it and when.
I then find the tunes on YouTube and play the video.
It turns out that all four tunes I hear, were hits in the early 1970s
At the moment i am hearing no 2. I have just woken up from one of my recurring nightmares where I am about to fail a college course because I haven't attended the lectures.
I get earworms most of the time.That's not usually a problem, but I'm also a musician for various things. Rehearsals can be a bit of a problem if I'm playing one tune, then in a brief break my mind wanders off onto totally irrelevant tunes (usually from different genres) that become ear worms. Then I've forgotten the tune I'm meant to be playing - argh.But as NAS38983 suggests, I can change the ear-worm to something more acceptable if it's getting annoying. Such as the 'middle 8' from Mouldy Old Dough - I now need to get rid of that one ASAP!
