So what percentage of the time do you guesstimate that you have a song playing in your head?

Almost never these days.  My brian has enough trouble just trying to keep up with my movements from room to room and trying to remember what I was doing or what I was looking for.  He can't be distracted with stupid music.  :unsure:

A lot. mr. and I have been doing this fun call and response with a line from a Cranberries song… after one of us asks for something, the other replies with the line That is what I do, sung in O’Riordan’s  brogue.

Perfect name for that group. Her voice is VERY cranberry-ish. Very tart. “And yer bombs…”

I don't have any tune in my head 98%. Only briefly certain times when I'm remembering someone I loved.

I'm more visual what I imagine/think ....for past few wks., I've had some intense highly visual dreams at night, that became emotionally charged. Not sure....but it may be an enormous catharsis going on.

THis is why I love cycling...the scenery is unfolding differently around, you every few minutes.  Cycling is a highly tactile, sensory and visual experience. Some times I imagine this what I will remember near end of life... THose incredible sensations when it's a fantastic day/scenery to be cycling through.

A large percentage even during sleep. I have woken with songs stuck in my head apparently from a dream. 
For some reason I have the song “Zombie” stuck in my head

in my heeeaadd…

That was from Mosey Susan in this thread, aided and abetted by her husband and me.

I occasionally hear one when I'm relaxing and not concentrating on anything.  The exception is when I'm working a couple hours/day on some piano piece.  Key parts keep jumping into my head.

Lately, there's one I keep thinking of because it's often in a TV commercial, frequently heard of CNBC: Mozart's Sonata in A Major, K331, playing in the background. It's one of the pieces I have been planning to work on because it's nice and slow for the first 50 seconds, then fast, then slow, and that fits my progress in restoring my piano skills.

I have the Masterwork (authentic, researched original) sheet music and a video of a Russian virtuosa playing it showing her hands and arms.  My late Chinese piano teacher was originally taught by a Russian and taught the now-favored-worldwide Russian Method of efficient movement in playing, so the video helps me see where my hands and arms should be.
