Ear Worm...
I've had a fast and furious encounter with Lewis Carroll's famous poem JABBERWOCKY and have bits of stuck music -- fragments of rhythm, a few chord changes -- small bits all stuck and looping endlessly. I sing it in my sleep. I feel it in my body when walking. I try to think of something else. It's annoying.
I've encountered this many times, sometimes while rehearsing a piece intensively in an honor choir situation, but most often during the process of composing. Maybe I'm working it out on a subconscious level. Maybe it's just hopelessly stuck. I'm singing it now...
