And when your husband starts complaining that he's now got it stuck in his head, as a result of you humming it all morning, that's transomusia.

Happens to you, too, eh?

And when you both wind up humming the same song, which has happened to us, do you call it intramusia?

And when you finally kill the danged tune and get it out of your mind, is that euphonasia?

Hey I am a severe sufferer of this condition. I do have a degree in music- so at least my repertoire is larger than Kid Rock and Eminem, but the manifestation IS quite bad. I pretty much have a tune in my head every waking minute. I subconciously tap my fingers or *tap my teeth.* Every time I go to the dentist they want to know if I grind my teeth in my sleep.

I do have a (blessing/curse) to absorb a melody without actually listening to it, (especially those vapid department store muzak tunes.)

My refuges are few. Alcohol doesn't do it, but some computer games do, for which I value them highly.

Christmas is an espcially bad time of the year, as you can imagine.

Its not crippling, but it sure is annoying.

I'd love a word for it too- at least so I can explain it better.
