Researchers at the University of London have broken the code to what makes a song so catchy.
According to their research – the key elements that keep people singing a song – often without wanting to – are long and detailed musical phrases, multi-pitch changes in the hook, and male vocalists accompanied by higher male vocalists. Based on that criteria – researchers concluded that the top 2 catchiest songs ever made were Queen’s “We are the Champions”, and the Village People’s “YMCA.” Other songs that made the top-10 list include Europe’s “Final Countdown” and – oddly – the theme song to the TV Show “Baywatch.” Who would have thought – the real reason why people tuned in to Baywatch…was because of the music!
