What song is stuck in your head
Omg it's some satanic mash-up of my hero from foo fighters and californication
"Little girls from sweden dream of silver screen quotations
if you want these kinds of dreams, it's californication"
*riff for the beginning of the screaming part for my hero*
KUDOS MY HERO
LEAVING ALL THE BEST"
Plus there's You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by The offspring
it's literally just the three chords then "SO COME ON DANCE, F***CKER DANCE, NEVER HAD A CHANCE, SHOOT HIM RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES, SHOOT HIM RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES!
WITH A THOUSAND LIES AND A GREAT DISGUISE! NO ONE EVER KNEW
IT WAS REALLY ONLY YOU!"
Ironically and for reasons I am unaware of... "Can't get you outta my head" by Kylie Minogue!
Worse... the only line I actually know is the title line, so my head is literally, over and over, going "Can't get you outta my head, boy la la la la la la lala la... repeat ad infinitum!"
Try it... :)

Subtext
As a avid lifelong ‘folkie’ I have a fondness for traditional and folk songs, not just the tune and the lyrics but the story behind the song. Just lately I have been learning the Yiddish song Donna Donna Donna so it was no surprise to find that in my head. However, what was weird was that my inner DJ had chosen to Intersperse the lyrics with the Arrogant Worms song, Cows with Guns. Musically it worked, lyrically the jury is out!
What do tigers dream of?
You remember that song they sang in The Hangover? When they accidentally ended up with Mike Tyson's tiger? Yeah...that one.
I recently found out that my metal/punk/emo loving husband also has a deep love for Cher, and so random tracks from her Believe album (which is the one that features that "life after love" song) are on constant repeat in my head.
