Our great friend Science has made a new discovery.
You know how you get a song stuck in your head? This happens to me on a daily basis. Right now it's that new Jason Derulo one. Anyway, there's a technical term for it- earworm, and apparently 90% of people experience it at least once a week.
Psychologists in the U.K. thought they'd study this problem and see if there was some way to counteract it. Apparently, there is. You ready?

Although getting a song stuck in your head doesn't seem like the worst thing ever (usually), maybe this will eventually lead to other studies and solutions to more serious psychological issues.
