Compulsive Singing: Another Aspect of Punding in Parkinsons Disease
Ann Neurol 62:525-528, Bonvin,C.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report on two patients with advanced Parkinson�s disease who were exhibiting a peculiar and stereotyped behavior characterized by an irrepressible need to sing compulsively when under high-dose dopamine replacement therapy. Sharing many features with punding, this singing behavior is proposed as a distinct manifestation of the dopamine dysregulation syndrome in Parkinson�s disease.
