This may sound a bit weird... But I don't tend to "listen" to music in the traditional sense when just doing "stuff". I have music playing in my head 24/7. Rarely pop and never rap or anything of the redundant stuff that folks are popping out today. I can't stand that sophomoric dribble long enough to have it enter my mental juke box. When I do listen to music it is active and all-encompassing. But interestingly, I never focus on lyrics and can probably only recite the hooks of songs, but never the full text. I can't be doing anything else when listening to music.
