> Before I saw this post today, I had been having this "song" going in my mind. Anyone remember "Hooked on Classics"? They would play the most familiar refrain from popular classical pieces in a medley to a disco beat. Classy, eh? I haven't heard this since I was about 12 years old and I don't know why on earth I would have it going on now! It's sort of amusing, but it won't be if it keeps going :)


It seems to be several kinds of phenomena from what I can tell reading about this stuff here for awhile. Some folks feel it is definitely *intrusive* and unwanted, making them upset. That's the OCD-flavor I guess. I find it mildly annoying at most. In my own case it is mood-dependent/sleep-dependent which makes me think it is some kind of seizure-like phenomena related to my bipolar. Meds influence it greatly as well. SSRI's break it up into tight repetitions (closely spaced in time). Sleep-deprivation seems to just increase it generally. When I was unmedicated I could take an existing song and "tweak" it and change it, but I prefer things to be relatively quiet.
