Do you ever hear a favorite song and sing it then later you keep'on thinking of the song and singing the lyrics to yourself, and find you are still thinking of it long after it should have left your'mind? we were all singing I Cant Help Falling In LOve With You, that was eleven this morning and here I am at twelve thirty and still thinking of the tune and the words. Sort of like a mind freeze.he he.

hi kitty yes its really sad,the woman lost everything and her 'hjusband too. Last Sept we had one almost hit Tustin then the wind changed and blew it into Oak creek canyon and all the other canyons and it was just horrible.the terrain was so hard for the firefighters to get to and the big plane that was supposed to drop fire retardent was at another fire, It took a week or more the air was so bad we had to close our windows and use the air conditioner and stay inside. a lot in fact mostof the residents in the canyons lost their homes just because there were not enough planes to drop the fire retardant.

Hello my friend Wow how sad is that, I guess its really hard when you know you don't want to leave all your things and your home my heart goes out to the woman not only will she have to deal with her burns but she lost her husband/home, goodness, I hope they get control of this soon, this is crazy that things like this happen, I use to say I would love to live there but after hearing things like this I change my mind this happens to often for me.

Hello my friend Really so sad, I have been through two fires lost everything in one, the second time water damaged alot of things but we were lucky, the people that lived over us lost so much someone was watching over us the second time for sure, fire fighters told us we would not be able to go back inside I guess they thought since we were on the bottom floor the water would have made it impossible for us to stay in the apartment but god had other plans for us, we were able to stay in the apartment and the lost was nothing in comparison to the other familys

Heya Hatley! This may sound like a weird solution, but look up the song on YouTube, play it all the way through while watching and listening to it and then see what happens afterwards. There's a better than average chance you'll stop replaying it over and over in your mind after this.

oh fwidman good one,isnt that the one where you go through 'all the different hand movements. used to drive me nuts'when that craze was on because by the time I was half way through one movement everyone else was onto the next one. a lot like'taking an exercise class where most are already skinny and you are huffing'and puffing on one step while all the slim ones are already on the next.whew makes me tired justthinking about it.

If the song is stuck in your head, you could always just listen to other music, and eventually you'll forget about the song. Just make sure you listen to a variety of songs.

I have had that happen to me before also. I do not know why it happens only on certain songs though or why it only happens some of the time. It takes a couple of days to get them out of my head too, it seems.

this seems to be occurring more and more in this day and time. the only solution is shock therapy or if you want a cheaper solution buy a taser and stick it to your forehead.

That is so annoying when a song is stuck in your head for too long, hahaha LSS (Last song syndrome) lol, even if it's not my favorite song, but when I heard a song that is kinda catchy, it stuck in my head and I sing it like, 100 times a day, hahaha but not the whole song, like a part of it. the last song stuck in my head was "Tonight's gonna be a good night" part of Black Eyed Peas. hahaha ^_^ happy myloting!

I don't do it as often as I used to but yesterday, I picked up a client to bring him home. He's a quiet sdort of guy so conversation was at a minmum during the 1 hour trip. The radio was on softly but for some reason I was singing...Hang down your head Tom Dooley, hang down your head and cry, hang down your head Tom Dooley, poor boy you're gonna die....and so on. It was just going through my head off and on all the way home. Do you know that one?

thanks Mstickle hope I do at that as when I smile or joke I am happy all day, but when I get depressed then I scold myself and remember what my diabetes nurse educator told me,envision a large plastic bubble and put it around you.this is stress proof and stress cannot touch you. this really works too, as you have decided to not let stress get to you and your imagination kicked in and I was stress free.I am a diabetic and stress really shoots up my blood glucose level

As a musician, I tend to be very musically minded and songs do often get stuck in my head. Sometimes even songs I cannot say that I like very much. I don't resist the songs. If they are there, they are there - they always burn themselves out, disappear and are replace with a different song. Sometimes it can happen for just minutes, sometimes hours sometimes days.. It's OK.. - Derek

Whenever I have a particular song stuck in my head, I usually think of the Oscar Mayer Weiner song...you know it, I'm sure. It goes, "Oh, I want to be an Oscar Mayer Weiner, that is what I want to be-e-e-e! And if I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner, everyone would be in love with me-e-e-e." Are you humming it yet?
