   I usually have a "running soundtrack" on a conscious or unconscious level,   
   anyway, so it's hard to say. On the conscious level it's something like a tune   
   stuck in my head. On an unconscious level it's a tune I might whistle. For   
   example, a co-worker    
   noticed I whistle "If I Only Had a Brain," when dealing with certain   
   individuals. I'd never noticed it.   
      
   The conscious "soundtrack" could be anything, from Willie Nelson to Lynard   
   Skynard to John Phillip Sousa (just thinking about it makes "American Patrol"   
   start running through my mind) to Scott Joplin to piano novelty songs to   
   classical. I like symphonic    
   and movie soundtracks for easy background music, unless I'm sleepy, then I   
   break out the Rock and Roll.   
      
   Where it all connects to writing is an interesting question. All my "near   
   misses" have a musical influence, from the Blues to the C&W song "Blue Eyes   
   Crying in the Rain" for one I'm working on at the moment.   
      
   Fortunately, while lyrics are protected by copyright, song titles aren't, so   
   if I wanted a drunk character to sing "Your Cheating Heart," all I have to do   
   is write he sang "Your Cheating Heart."
