Meaning: To have a song stuck in your head means that you cannot get the song out of your consciousness. This happens when a song is really popular and has a catchy tune or catchy lyrics. Anytime you hear a song and then find yourself signing that song or thinking about that song when you are all by yourself, you can say that song is stuck in your head.
