lol now that you mention it I actually hear songs if I look at the wave-length's I've spent so much time listening to songs on my program that shows that actual wave-lengths while the song is playing, my brain must have made the connection between different shapes and the sound produced, it used to freak me out but now I don't really think about it, lag get's really annoying though.......

As I've seen in this topic before, I have also been haunted by the Df song. I couldn't sleep for 3 days cause it wouldnt stop playing in my head. It stopped when I started playing heavy metal as the bgm. I also sometimes hear voices randomly, like when nobody is around. They just talk about the most random things, so it doesn't bug me.

What do you mean "wavelengths"? A spectrogram or the actual wave of the entire file shown, or something else? I'll asume it's a spectrogram or something else, because getting it from the actual drawn wave is probably a theoretical impossibility due to the information not actually showing up.
Also, thats actualy a realy usefull ability, at least if you are good enought for voices to be intelligible.

Don't you think it's more likely that seeing it is causing you to remember the song, rather than that you've somehow gained the ability to mentally decode the spectrogram?

yes I did mean the spectogram, and no it can be any song, I amaze my friends sometimes cause I tell em to look up songs I've never heard of before, they listen to em before hand and I tell em what the lyrics are as it plays.

I was getting a similar thing for a while, weird overlays on my sight that I could actually focus on. Only really when I was drifting off to sleep.  Particularly on a couch I used to have. Don't know why it stopped, but I would recommend sleeping on a proper bed and make sure you're not getting smothered by dense doonas, or if it's too cold expose some part of your body like your feet.

I think it's similar to the feeling you get sometimes when you're fighting to waken from some nightmare, but it's so damn hard to wake up, and that seems to happen more when you're being smothered by coverings, or lying on/between certain materials.

Need proof.

Also, there was a guy who could supposedly do this with vinyl records.

That is, he ran his hand along the grooves and could identify what song was on it.
