Yes I have heard it called Earworm. Mine never stops but if I am focusing on something it’s as if it stops but if I listen it is still there. I think the Earworm refers to when you have a familiar song that you can’t get out of your head but it goes away in a few days. Went to sleep last night with the National Anthem. Ugh!

Diana, what you are describing is exactly what I'm experiencing. America the Beautiful, Silent Night, The Caissons go Rolling Along, and others. Who knows why the songs that repeat over and over are stuck in my head. They seem to be ones I knew from childhood. Often just certain phrases of the song will repeat. They are always there, only disappearing when I'm distracted or fully engaged in something else. I did some research and apparently this is very common. I've had this condition for a looooong time.
