Recent studies have cast some light on the phenomemon of\nsong-stickage. Although the 'why' is still under investigation, the\n'where' seems to be the auditory cortex of the brain. There is even a\nname for songs that tend to stick in your head. They are called\n"earworms."\n\n"If you've ever gotten a song stuck in your head, you know how\nannoying it can be. Researchers at Dartmouth University can't stop the\naggravation, but they do have a good idea what parts of the brain keep\nreplaying the music.\n\nUsing brain imaging techniques and a good CD collection, they found\nthat the auditory cortex, the same part of the brain that passes\ninformation from the ears to the brain, also holds onto musical\nmemories.

I don't know, sometimes that happens with my mom and myself. Like a very vivid dream that makes no sense until a while (sometimes a very long while) later it happens and seems totally normal until you get this rush of deja vou. Or a stream of thoughts that doesn't seem to make any sense, sometimes even about ppl you have yet to meet, you dismiss atthe time, then you have it again later just in daily life and it is like, whoa, that was weird.

Great, now its in mine... My head is like a radio station, and I love music (listen, play, jam!)... So I had only two songs bouncing in there before I read Purple Rain (great song, by the way...)...\n\nMine where 'Baby Lemonade' by Syd Barrett (I have been on a Barrett kick for the last month or so) and 'Nautical disaster' by the all Canadian band, The Tragically Hip.\n\nHave a good one, and stay out of the purple rain...

It sounds like it's not so much the song itself in question, it's the fact that you've been humming the same song all day long for three weeks.  It could be any song in the world, and if I was one of your co-workers, I'd probably want to beat the crap out of you too!
