> I've never had this problem before...like I said it began about a year ago. The song that won't quit, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," came out in '62 when I was 9 years old. It wasn't exactly the kind of stuff I was listening to the radio to hear. So the significance of this particular song is baffling. Something off the first Doors album would make more sense since I literally wore it out when I was 14 or 15. I'm afraid if I actually listen to the Tony Bennett song I'll have some kind of emotional breakdown and they'll find me on the ledge of a 40th floor office window sucking my thumb. But then, maybe Tony Bennett has that effect on everyone.jimwlms, I'm LOL at your description of listening to Tony Bennett! Don't know if liking for a song determines whether the brain selects it for frequent "replay." I love the Doors too, and am glad it's "Crystal Ship." However, I'd recommend you try listening to various songs incl. "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and see what happens! (Stay away from windows and ledges when you do!). Have heard that hearing frequent music can be l) normal, 2) OCD, 3) neurological. The only thing I'm familiar with is OCD.
