You know, the song or refrain that you can’t get out of your head. What is going on physically in your brain?
Yesterday, I wore a new red dress and some pretty dressy red high-heeled sandals. I thought it was a bit flashy for work, but dammit, I wanted to wear this outfit. However, I had Fancy by Reba McEntire running through my head. I didn’t look slutty, and I did get a lot of compliments, but somehow the “red velvet trim and it fit me good” got stuck in my head.
[Buffy]Principal Snyder? He has “Walk Like an Egyptian” stuck in his head. And the boys in this school are seriously disturbed…[/Buffy]
Bump, hoping someone can explain?
You mean what’s happening in the brain when an earworm’s going? I don’t think anyone has caught one with a scanner yet. Maybe you could suggest the research possibilities to a local hospital. It would be really low cost. All they’d have to do is ask everyone who was scanned if they had one going, and what the song was.
Piggy-back research. Gotta love it.
(They could also count up the number of times that the answer was, “well I didn’t have one. . .”
