Ohrwurm. This was one of the first words I learned upon coming to Germany, mainly because I have songs stuck in my head SOOO OFTEN. It can be fun though. What I love is when they take you one strange trains of thought.
For example: tonight I had "Yellow Submarine" stuck in my head by the Beatles (uhmm.. DUH) andI'm perplexed as to how one can have neighbors in a land of submarines... and also how they knew the sky was blue from underwater... and how many people own yellow submarines just because of that song, I mean, if I owned a submarine, it would be yellow.....
What I really hate though is when you only know a small tiny little peice of a song but it is so addictive that you revisit it and revisit it anyway. Like in this song by Kina Granis, I have had nothing but the "I will love youuuu, I will love youuuu, I will love you" stuck in my head all day with nothing else to conjure from the depths of my memory. So then I just pick a different song to distract me that I at least know all the lyrics too. Maybe "somewhere over the rainbow" or "Ghost of a Corporate Future" by Regina Spektor.
The White Stripes or Kimya Dawson are also always nice to get stuck in your head. Or how about German rap? Peter Fox is good, Prinz Pi sometimes too. maybe Die Atzen.
Either way it's all good when one is in a certain mood and needs a song, and it can always annoy when it's all you can think.
