THIS IS WHERE MY MUSIC COMES IN

With my catchy, melodic, yet meaningful pop-rock stylings, I can rescue you from the pain of having "Who Let the Dogs Out" or the Chili's babyback ribs song stuck in your head

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The vast majority of people say they have been mentally tortured at one point in their lives by a song that keeps repeating itself over and over in their heads.

And new research shows that people most frequently plagued by this phenomenon are those with slightly neurotic tendencies, and people who enjoy and listen to music often.

These mental broken records are also more likely to play the first or last song we hear in different situations, such as the first song that comes on in the morning alarm, or the last song playing before we turn off the car, study findings show.

Songs that topped the list as being most likely to stick around in someone's head included the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out?" and the Chili's restaurant jingle about Baby Back Ribs.

In a slightly related story, I'm making my 2nd attempt (in TFM's lifetime) to get into Ani DiFranco (facilitated by this person), and as talented as she is, I'm probably not going to have the stuck-in-head problem. Why? Well, you need a melody first, hehe.

(my apologies to ani fans, but if she wrote great melodies all the time, she'd be a pop sensation, and would you like her at all? hehehe)
