Ever heard a tune that you like more than you realise, so much so that it remains in your head for literally days, no matter what else you hear?
An example: I've in the last few days been re-playing Path of Neo. The music is not Don Davis' from the original trilogy but it is pretty good stuff; in particular, a recurring theme that you'll hear throughout the game. Just four dramatic long bars of coolness - I really like it, but I didn't know I like it so much that I can't stop hearing it. I'll hum it to myself, play it over and over in my head in various versions, endlessly! Till eventually it fades off. Its presence is so intense that it almost feels like a pressure inside my head and the release valve is focussing on the sound with no other thought and/or audibly recreating the piece of music myself!!
So... Am I the only one?
