Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, has anyone besides me ever heard a song they've never heard before and yet are able to sing along to every word in their head?

Also if you've heard a new song by one of your favourite musicians or bands or whatever but you don't know it's them at first, upon hearing the first few words are you able to tell who it is? (same goes if you haven't heard the song in a long while and you're all like 'this sounds familiar' and then you hear a few words and you're like 'it's so-and-so)?

What about this: has anyone ever heard a song on the radio etc. a million times or more but you don't know all the words to it yet you have the music stuck in your head all day and you only know a few lines of the chorus or the first verse or something and you can't figure out the rest so you spend all day slaving over it trying to figure it out until you can get to a computer and search the lyrics?

These happen to me all the time. As well as a few some of you have already mentioned.

You're a true music junkie when you spend so much time playing your instrument that you didn't realize this thread existed.

i very much agree it sucks i have st anthony's chorale stuck in my head all day since we started playing it (i hate that song)

Oh. My. God. I bow to you - I never knew I was music junkie before I read this thread. Pretty much everything on that list is a check for me, including the above mentioned. Here's another common one for me:

When you start to hear music in your head while you're taking an intense test, or writing a paper.
And,
when you can pay full attention to two (or more) songs at the same time and not mess it up if you start to sing one.

Best. Thread. Ever.

When I'm at work, I'll use my left hand to finger the edge of counters, pens, basket handles, whatever I can grab. I finger stuff from my violin repertoire, stuff that I'm currently playing or that just popped up in my head. My friend and I play in our city's youth orchestra, and we can sing Johannes Brahms "Academic Festival Overture", Tchaikovsky's "Capriccio Italien", and Gustav Holst's "The Planets" all the way through, while singing as many parts as we can. It's hilarious!

While at work, I don't get to listen to music, so I just turn on my internal mp3 player. ^ ^

OMG these things happen to me all the time!!!!


oh and have you ever heard part of a song then be able to guess what the rest is ????? I do this all the time.

Also have you ever been able to pick up an instrument and play a tune when you've never played the instrument before???? I have.

Oh yeah! Number 11 BIG TIME! I just sit there, trying to study, and here's some song from Len Kagamine and I'm like "SHUT THE F UP IN MY HEAD!!!" Gosh, makes it so hard to concentrate! And it just happens, SPONTANEOUSLY!
