It happens to me on occasion. I've always considered it to be similar to a song stuck in my head. It's usually a multisyllable word like serendipity or avuncular. :) Phrases also sometimes get stuck in my head, or snatches of poetry. Are the words that get stuck in your head melodic ones? Do you ever get short words like dirt or fuzz stuck in your head? I never do.
I have OCD which I suppose could cause it, but I've always just considered it more of the perfectly normal music running through your head phenomenon.
