I always have music in my head and I was wondering if other people have something similar.
Uh Jitterbug
The last week or so it’s been Too Much Too Young by The Specials. It was on the radio, once, last week and for no good reason I’ve been stuck with it since. Thanks brain.

Almost always, but the song changes. Right now it’s Knucklehead by Grover Washington Jr.
Always. My kids ask what song I am ‘breathing’ when I am doing chores around the house, as it domes out in my breath as a pseudo whistle without me realizing it.
Currently it is Regina Spector - Two Birds, as my eldest is obsessed.
Different ones, currently Rusty Warren’s version of Roll Me Over In The Clover/Yankee Soldier.
If left alone with my thoughts for too long, I invariably start humming the Hamsterdance song.

Only with entirely wrong lyrics, and often mixed with recent covers.
I had to look up the title but The Tide Is High, but I always struggle to make out what the words are after “I’m not the kind of girl” and my brain goes on infinite loop trying to figure it out, even losing recollection of what it even sounded like and becoming more incorrect as a result.
I’m not the kind of girl that looks up from her knees next to daaaad oh noooo ooohhhh Plus the hup hup hup hup from the black vocals remix
I saw a user profile earlier that said
“There is nothing worse than having a Cranberries song stuck in your head, in your heeeeeeead…”
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
This song’s gonna get stuck inside your
Heeeeeaaaad
Yeah, this weird, orchestral rendition of All Along The Watchtower. It’s the damnedest thing.
Not every day, every living minute, but quite regularly and throughout the year, the first 4 beats of “Deck the Halls” on infinite loop in a 6/4 beat so after the 4 beats there’s 2 beats silence before it begins all over again. Weirdest thing is after all these years I don’t even know the text, just the melody.
The only time I don’t have something playing in my head is when I am actively listening to music.
At the moment its the guitar bridge from “In a Big Country” by Big Country. If I pay attention to it the song will continue to the end. But if I’m ignoring it, it’ll stay constant guitar solo.
Cranberries
Now that I think about it, is “zombie” the thing in the head, or the subject of whom the question is being asked?
What’s in your head, zombie?
What’s in your head? Zombies!
It changes up two to four days.
Currently it’s Witness (Hope 1), by Roots Manuva.
Last week it was The Caves of Altamira, by Steely Dan
My brain is like a playlist with thousands of songs, playing constantly on random. At any time, you could ask me what I have stuck in my head right now and I would have an answer.
Right now, it’s Come Monday by Jimmy Buffett. Yesterday, it was a song from an obscure old musical (the Fantastiks). And the day before that (for no reason I can explain) it was Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead.
My parents were “Parrotheads” and despite me not really heavily listening to Buffett as an adult, my parents listened to him a lot when I was a kid and I basically still know all the lyrics by heart.
I was always fond of Pencil Thin Mustache, one of the few times Buffett seemed to sort of channel a different style of music than his usual offerings.

I can’t listen to or sing (or “sing”) A Pirate Looks At Forty or He Went To Paris without getting choked up these days.
RIP Jimmy Buffett.
