Songs Stuck In Your Head?

[Juniper]

A few days ago I mentioned (in a post about dreams) that I seem to have this second "video" in my head - yeah, kind of weird - I mean, I tend to visualize things very easily.

Well, I also seem to have a constant soundtrack in my head. No need for an MP3 player, I take it with me anyway. But I'm thinking I might want that MP3 player anyway, because the songs stuck in my head are never GOOD songs, they're always annoying crap.

I am actually starting to wonder if I'm going slightly nuts lately, it's so bad. I think it must have something to do with the level of stress in my life; the constant soundtrack is a method of coping and calming myself.

But there is nothing calming about having the same DUMB song playing in my head all day long. All day today AND yesterday it was...um...I am almost embarrassed to admit it...Daydream Believer.

Seriously I am about to go find Davy Jones on YouTube and maybe look up the lyrics just so I can GET IT OUT OF HERE.

I don't even know where it came from; I don't remember hearing it anywhere. I often fall prey to "last song syndrome" but just as often they seem to pop in out of nowhere.

I have tried putting other songs into my head over it, but that is no use. They annoy me too, but then I keep going back to Cheer Up Sleepy Jean, Oh What Could it Mean...ugh.

Ever happen to you? Am I losing my marbles?

Edited to add this ---- I looked up the damn song, and found out that it was the #1 song right at the time I was born, Jan. 1968. I honestly didn't know that. And my middle name is Jean. My mom's middle name was Jean, and that's the name she went by. This is eerie. It's almost like a message. (sigh) I really am going crazy, it's official.

Did I mention I got an e-mail from my mom the other day? It wasn't really from my mom; she died last December. It was spam, but somehow a spammer got her name and sent me a recipe for white chicken chili. I am not making this up. Yesterday I got one "from" my maternal grandmother, same way. How very strange to see my mom's name in my inbox.

Oh, you say it's almost Halloween? AAAAAHHHHGH!!!!
