I really like listening to music but I end up having last song syndrome (LSS). Is there a cure for last song syndrome???

lol. I hear ya- but I don't know of a cure- except maybe to listen to another song to try to get the Last one out of your head.. maybe try singing commercial jingles.. NO on second thought that might be worse..
I don't know Really, If you hear of a cure. please let me know! lol

This happens to me a lot! Does anyone know what the actual scientific explanation for this might be? Wikipedia has it indexed under "Earworm" and there isn't really much of an explanation, just that it's more prevalent with people who suffer from OCD. That's understandable, but what about the rest of us?

Thanks, jbbelle. How weird!
You could try forcing yourself to sing a different song. That works for me sometimes.

Hi Laurie and Jbbelle: thanks for the explanation. I have never consider this point of view but i think this might be the answer we have to deal with a song for a while. In some cases i have got to the point that i don't want to listen this song at all.

Hi: this happends to me almost everyday. Sometimes it's horrible because i don't really like the song that it's on my head but even with that i love to say that music is an important part on my life even if i'm not a musician

There is only one thing I can think of. Listen to music often. That way at least the last song you hear changes often. Other than that, I think you are stuck! lol just like tge rest of us.

I always get a song stuck in my head unless I haven't been paying attention to the music. All you can do is listen to a song that isn't annoying. Sleeping also cures it.

There is a cure!
At least for me there is. If you listen to an entire music album while doing something else. Not paying much attention to the music. Once the album is done playing you wont even notice and there most likely wont be any song stuck in your head. This works for me.
