I’m scared, so very scared." I have the same disease. I will Dr. Seuss my thoughts and sometimes verbalize them to others, which tends to annoy them. It IS very annoying. I also suffer from earworms. Most are uncommon songs (because I listen to a wide range of music) but some of the common offenders are "Someone saved my life tonight" by Elton John and "Mama Mia" by Abba. My dad used to get the theme from Laverne & Shirley all the time. In fact, we had better mute the TV before the theme played or we would never hear the end of it! Of course, now I AM hearing it...
