First post to this thing, we'll see how it goes.
A lot of the songs in my head are triggered by hearing something that reminds me of a song. It takes very little to trigger this, sometimes just a couple of tones, or a small piece of overheard speech.
Other times, something will just pop into my head without any conscious reason. Sometimes, it will be a song I haven't heard in *years*.
I started logging the songs on my phone last night, but text entry on a mobile device is far from optimal and quick, so I think I'll just start carrying a small spiral-bound notebook devoted to this purpose.
If there's a specific reason I was reminded of a song, I'll write it down here, otherwise, you'll just get a song and a time.

8:43 pm Deee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart
This song was in an Episode of "How I Met Your Mother" that I'd watched the night before. We were out eating dinner and someone whistled, reminding me of the song.
9:08 pm Love Among Freaks - Berserker
This is a song from the movie "Clerks". I haven't heard it in quite some time. Something about a bass riff from "Groove is in the Heart" triggered this.

There's a bunch of space here, because I was working and didn't have a way to quickly write stuff down. The soundtrack in my head is almost constant, so there's a lot of stuff missing here. There are a bunch of sales people where I work, who ring bells and such when they make big sales. Because of this, Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" is in heavy rotation on weekdays.

This was prompted when I looked at the RC Cola can I had just enjoyed. Many will know this as the "Chicka Cherry Cola" song.

While reviewing this post, my wife commented "You're so Crazy". Close enough.
