In my Pocket by Vulfpeck has been going around my head in a good way today, as has Brooklyn by The Katzman has been in a similar way too. Those tunes both make me happy

There was a programme on R4 a few months ago. They spoke to the earworm researchers about what makes a tune stick in our heads.

The researchers would plant specific tunes for the colleague that annoyed them.

What DOES make a song stick in our heads? Did they agree on a musical formula of earwormishness?

Word memory association, situations of stress, a wandering mind and altered emotional states can all be blamed for the phenomenon, psychologist Dr Lauren Stewart said.

Some tracks also have characteristics that make them more likely to repeat themselves again and again in the mind, she said.

Long notes and “intervals that are very close together” make a song prone to replay itself mentally as it makes it easier to sing, according to the researchers at Goldsmiths, University of London.

However, certain types of personality are more susceptible than others to what are known as earworms – a tune or part of the tune that comes unbidden into the mind and goes on to repeat itself, outside of a person’s conscious control.

told Radio 4’s Today programme: “It does seem to be very variable across the population and we think certain personality factors like the extent to which you’re obsessive compulsive might also play a part in how you experience these inner tunes.”

Annoying as earworms are, it is possible they might have a greater function than to drive us mad, she suggested.

“It’s interesting to us to think about whether earworms might have a role to play,” she said.

they just a by-product of the brain’s resting state or is something more interesting going on?”

Terry Dobson, a founding member of the 1980s pop group Black Lace, which was responsible for earworms such as Agadoo, meanwhile offered his own explanation.

“We’ve always thought of it as a hook, a magical few notes that grab your attention,” he said.

“They could be vocal or musical or both. We just learnt the tunes, played them and hoped the captured the imagination.”

That's very interesting. I always have an earworm. Every waking minute I have a song in my head, usually one I like fortunately. I'm also aspie so I wonder if that makes me more susceptible.

It's damn near impossible to get a tune in my head, but it's also damn near impossible to get one out of it also, dunno if that bears any relation lol

That is very intriguing. There are many books dedicated to the link between minds and music

Try solving some anagrams, as they will involve part of your working memory, that would potentially be shared by the ear worm.

Don't choose puzzles that are too hard or near impossible, but some that will challenge.

They did. Paul McCartney tunes all fit the formula.
