My sincere commiserations about Daydream Believer.

I have had this in the past, but fortunately these days only the songs of my favourite composer/bandleader bounce around my mind and I'm always glad when they do. I consider myself the opposite of a music expert, can't read music and don't play any instrument, so I am particularly surprised when large parts of titles play themselves in my mind.

I guess you just keep playing your favourite stuff and it will stick eventually. Don't listen to promotionals or broadcasts of crappy music.

Good luck!

They're called earworms. Happens to most people from time to time. The easiest, but not best way, is to supplant it with another earworm. The catch is that the new song has to be worse than the old song for it to stick.
