    I have similar issues with this. I feel like I have negligible control over what music is stuck in my head, to the point that sometimes it feels like my brain chooses which songs to play on infinite loop in my head based on what’s most likely to ruin my day or mood, or tempt me into taking an ice pick to my ear drums. In contrast, trying to get a song I like stuck in my head often feels as frustrating as trying to wrestle a greased up angry toddler.

    I have noise cancelling headphones that work well for countering this, but I’m often in situations where it would be very weird for me to use them, so I’m often powerless to do anything about it.

    The more I hate a song being played in a public space, the more my brain wants to make me miserable by forcing me to pay attention to the hated song and nothing else.
