Why is it that I can hear a single word and get a completely unrelated song stuck in my head? Okay, I admit that the songs aren't all unrelated, but they sometimes feel like it at the time.
For example: How annoying is it if you are sitting, trying to complete a French reading NAB, and get tons of songs stuck in your head? Answer: quite. To begin with, I was looking for something in the dictionary and saw the word 'peuple', this got the song "A La Volonte Du Peuple" stuck in my head. Fair enough. Then I saw the translation for Prince Charming. As you can probably guess, I got "Prince Charming" by Adam and The Ants stuck in my head. Ther were a couple of others but these were the most annoying. These songs also get stuck in my head if I hear or see the word 'malgré' or if somebody says they are adamant about something, well no prizes for guessing which song that gets stuck in my head.
The other day, I was sitting in English and we were doing some Close Reading. Our teacher was trying to explain to us what a word meant and he told us that it meant, essentially, 'nuclear fall-out'. Well, thanks to my head, I got "American Pie" (do not listen if you are in a rush or busy: the song is about 8 and a half minutes long) by Don McLean stuck in my head. No matter how unrelated that seems, I still got it stuck in my head.
This just keeps happening to me! I hear or see a word and I get a song stuck in my head. No matter what the word is, no matter where I am and no matter what I'm doing. It is especially irritating when you get "Yellow Submarine" stuck in your head while doing an art exam, but this is coming from the person who, in her head might I add, randomly shouted 'alpaca' during a Geography exam.
It can't just be me that does this. Is it? Or do other people get songs stuck in their head for good reasons?
