I'll probably stick out like a sore thumb in this crowd, but... I have a Spotify playlist called "Tasteless Rap". A lot of catchy rap songs that are of very little depth, but pleasant to listen to. I know all the words to pretty much all of them by now, and it's a fairly high-energy playlist that helps me get in the zone quickly and keep momentum.

I do exactly the same thing. As long as the lyrics are completely mundane/meaningless they don't screw up my internal monologue.
