Why am I always playing songs in my head?

Even if i'm not thinking about it, there will always be a song stuck in my head and I always have the urge to sing it really loud. Obviously I don't do this in public places but if I don't start singing it annoys me, it's like I need to get the music out of me by singing it. At home I am always singing, songs will just come to me, even if I never even thought that I knew the lyrics. Sometimes it's songs that I have recently been listening to , but most of the time it's songs that I haven't listened to in like 3 years and I somehow remember the exact tune and lyrics. Does anyone else get this? I'm not that good at singing either. I have a pretty good voice but i'm not amazing. and I don't like singing in front of people.

Everyone does it. It's normal.

It happens to me too!! You're right it's either recent sings I've been listening to that are stuck in my head or if I hear or see a word that I relate to a song, I'll be singing that song, or if I'm in public it'll be in my head- but sometimes it's just a random jumble. And yeah, today I had a song by Busted in my head- I haven't listened to Busted for years and years!!! And now here I am thinking about the colours in her hair again... :p

I always have a song in my head ("and I can't get it out of my head...") and it usually expresses how I feel at that given moment. Sometimes I do sing it out loud ("now my old world has gone for dead...") and sometimes I just hum it to myself ("hmm hmmm hmm hmmm, no no no no..")

It means you can hear your subconscious mind more easily than others which is a great thing in a poet. It's not so good for an oral surgeon though.
