Subject: RE: The Song Stuck in Your Head, Science
I notice that whenever my blood pressure slips out of control, that's when the nonsense tunes or snips of melody will start running like a broken record until I can get it back down again. I think it's because the brain is getting an extra push of oxygen with the slamming in of the blood, and also because the rhythm of that slam stimulates something better left asleep!
