Is it normal to be able to hear music at will

Is it normal to be able to play music in your head like an internal iPod?

I often get music stuck in my head, from hours to weeks of the same song. Sometimes its words, phrases, sentences or even actions.

I can often choose a song and play it in my head, completely like the voice in your head but its music.
If I can only hear a song faintly, if I know it I can "fill in" the bits I cant hear.

Can anyone else do this?

    Do you play yourself a theme song when you wake up everyday?

    When I was little, I would hear music & think it was my parents' radio but then I found out it wasn't. I get earworms like everyone else but if I concentrate, I can play songs in my head or even movies.

    It's not normal per se, but it is a god damned talent, and i wish I had it. If you can stay in tune with the songs too, and everything, that is really awesome, and you should definitely do music related things.

    I hear music unwillingly, like i said music sticks for days, to the point i try to play other music or have conversations and its just like sitting in a hallway with loud music in two rooms opposite making a confusing and irritating noise.

    its not like thinking as in chatting to yourself in your head.
    Its like having earphones in.

      I would imagine that could be quite distracting. Have you ever tried meditating? If not it might help.

    Your mind is very powerful. It can do a lot more than be an internal ipod.

    Isn't that just called thinking? Are you asking if it's normal to be able think? Well obviously not given half the stories on this site.
