Has anyone answered the real question?

Actually, I know what you're talking about, as it happens often to me. Last spring I was in a 170 mile bike ride for two days and couldn't get a piece of music I had practiced the night before out of my head--I was sort of on cruise control and nothing much else goes through your head out there other than the scenery and the pain, so I couldn't shake the tune. Learned it pretty well by the end of the ride, but I have no idea how to get rid of the tune until I listen to some more music or I get involved in something that makes me concentrate my thinking.

Rcprince,

Know what you mean, I seem to get one random song stuck in my head on most long bike rides as well!!! Only bothers me when it's something stupid as I seem to be stuck with it for a while... Often times it's just one part of a soung that seems to repeat throughout the ride. I have tried thinking of other music, but it rarely works.

If I'm lucky, it's something aggressive, Tool was stuck in my head a couple rides ago.... made the hills less painful!!!

Go with the white out-fitted guys. You're just what they're looking for.

Do the white outfitted guys drive a white van by any chance? My favorite scenario is when I start thinking of a tune but can't remember it's name or who performed it. Then months later I'll stumble across that recording...
