This song has been stuck in my head for days and days. Every time I awake in the middle of the night, it's there. Don't listen to it, or it will get stuck in your ear too

Study: Infectious songs share distinctive similarities Psychologists uncover the secrets of the sing-along song Music psychologists at Goldsmiths, University of London and the University of York have identified the scientific properties that give certain melodies the 'sing-along-able' factor. The research monitored the behaviour of thousands of people as they sang along to more than a thousand tunes. The fieldwork, undertaken by expert musicologist Dr Alisun Pawley and Goldsmiths' Dr Daniel Mullensiefen, from the Department of Psychology, uncovered the common traits in songs that are most 'catchy'.
The results have been launched in conjunction with the final call for entries for the National Science & Engineering Competition to inspire young scientists of the future.
The four core elements that trigger people's inclination to sing are:
- Longer and detailed musical phrases. The breath a vocalist takes as they sing a line is crucial to creating a sing-along-able tune. The longer a vocal in one breath, the more likely we are to sing along. - A greater number of pitches in the chorus hook. The more sounds there are, the more infectious a song becomes. Combining longer musical phrases and a hook over three different pitches was found to be key to sing-along success. - Male vocalists. Singing along to a song may be a subconscious war cry, tapping into an inherent tribal part of our consciousness. Psychologically we look to men to lead us into battle, so it could be in our intuitive nature to follow male-fronted songs. - Higher male voices with noticeable vocal effort. This indicates high energy and purpose, particularly when combined with a smaller vocal range.
My sister says that when you have a song stuck in your head, many times there are significant lyrics in it you need to pay attention to. So this one surfaced, on my evening walk, from way back in 1980 (shaddup! I was just 14!)......and maybe it's because I can move forward with my future again (and dreams).
Building your dream Has to start now There's no other road to take You won't make a mistake I'll be guiding you
