Achy Breaky Ear

Referring to this phenomena, better known as “earworms,” scientists reassure us that this endless loop of hearing a song in our heads over and over is beyond our conscious control. One Goldsmith study published in the journal Memory and Cognition showed the singing we hear in our heads is true to the actual recordings, with tempos only 10 percent off from the originals! Another study associated earworms with your body’s emotional processing. So, next time you get an annoying song stuck in your head, just go with it. It’s just your brain hard at work.
