Snippets of songs. They go round and around in my head.

Constant loop. Usually a song I like and then it gets ruined by the repetition. Thanks brain.

One line, or a single riff... Round and round and round until something takes its place.

Yep. I've learned that this happening is a good indicator that I'm not doing well mentally and there's a thing I'm avoiding confronting.

Then I have to play brain detective until I figure out what it is.

Same. I often wake up with random songs going through my head in the middle of the night. Sometimes it’s not the same one that was looping when I went to sleep.

Sometimes listening to the song gives me some relief from it, but not all the time.

Usually I have to find another song to replace it.

I think I'm lucky. If I have a song stuck in my head, it usually the entire song. Unless it's Kill the Poor by the Dead Kennedys, then it's just "Kill the Poor!". GAH

This is why i like orchestra style music, no lyrics to focus on so it's a little easier to deal with...
