Does anyone else ever mentally hum a tune during swim practices and/or races? My personal favorite, when I am trying to summon energy from my exhausted body, is the 1812 Overture--I try to time it so the cannons start firing towards the latter part of the race.
I'd be interested to hear what goes through other peoples' minds as they swim, musical or otherwise.

There was an interesting segment on NPR this afternoon about what they called "stuck songs" - songs that keep going round and round in your head. They had a top ten list of stuck songs. One of them was "It's a Small World" and another was "YMCA". They said that one way to get rid of a stuck song was to replace it with another. After listening to the list I found that "Small World" seemed to be getting entrenched in my head, so I quickly replaced it with YMCA.
#1 on the list was your own personal stuck song. I sing in a church choir and will often find that something we sing on Sunday morning will get stuck in my head.
