The last song syndrome

I always have this. Whenever I hear someone singing a song, unconsciously my mind picks up on it and the next thing I know is that I'm singing or humming the same song. Weird isn't it? Have you experienced this yourself? What do you think is the reason behind this?

Yes, it happens to me or at least it used to happen a lot. But, not all songs had this effect, just the really catchy tunes. Happy MyLotting my friend Trish.

Sometimes I find it really amazing how our mind works even subconsciously. I just admire how the brain functions on its own. Imagine it programs the last song you heard and later play it like a CD player only through your mouth using your own voice lol. And imagine humming! We tend to hum without knowing we do. hehehe.

I think because our mind is foccusing on it! Its like when we are feeling sad the more we think of the sad situation the more we get sad! So I guess its all about what we put in our mind! And yes this happen to me as well.

Hello Cjay, Glad to see you here. you changed your avatar. hihihi. Anyway, well my experience is different. I tend to have a last song syndrome on songs which are really happy to listen to even those corny ones. lol. And funny even those songs that I really hated. I think it's the subconscious mind doing all its work. But it's a little embarrassing when you are with someone who have heard the song you were singing from the originator. People tend to make fun of you. hihihi.

yes it happens to me so often that it is dangerous when the last song I hear in the morning and when I go out of the house is a crappy and pathetic song. It really sticks and leaves me crazy till the end of the day. I hate it but i just can't help it
