According to Wikipedia:

An earworm is a catchy piece of music that continually repeats through a person's mind after it is no longer playing. Phrases used to describe an earworm include musical imagery repetition, involuntary musical imagery, and stuck song syndrome. The word "earworm" is a calque from the German Ohrwurm.

According to research by James Kellaris, 98% of individuals experience earworms. Women and men experience the phenomenon equally often, but earworms tend to last longer for women and irritate them more.[14] Kellaris produced statistics suggesting that songs with lyrics may account for 73.7% of earworms, whereas instrumental music may cause only 7.7%.[15]

In a 2006 book by Daniel Levitin entitled This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession, {Me: Hey, I even read that book once!} he states that research has shown musicians and people with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) are more likely to suffer from earworm attacks. An attack usually involves a small portion of a song, a hook, equal to or less than the capacity of one's auditory short-term memory. Levitin reports that capacity as usually 15 to 30 seconds. Simple tunes are more likely to get stuck than complex pieces of music.

The reason I'm posting this is that I've had an earworm going through my head ad nauseum the last couple of days. Spefically the lyric:

"I'm not trying to stop a hurricane,
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home.
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves,
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne,
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home."

Why this is stuck in my head, I have no idea but particularly the ocean waves/overthrow the throne part does not want to go away. Go figure.

(I wonder if it has to do with snowpocalypse gridlock 2014.)
