An earworm, a term derived from the German “ohrwurm,” is defined as a “cognitive itch” or “the inability to dislodge a song and prevent it from repeating itself in one's head”. This phenomenon has recently become a
burgeoning area of neurological study. These worms are the result of our memory's tendency to remember incomplete tasks better than complete ones,
a phenomenon known as the Zeigarnik effect. Sometimes you don't recognize the song and sometimes you don't remember the lyrics.
How to get rid of them?
1. Identify the song
2. Listen to the entire song
This will make your brain consider the task as finished. And you can go on
with your life in peace. ✌
