Said dels Quot i personally think our music is  can t seem to get this tune out of my head by Steve Metcalf the Hartford courant a woman in her 30s awakens several mornings a month with a Well known song in her head. She is a healthy Well educated woman who holds an advanced degree in English literature. She has children and a mortgage. She does t necessarily mind starting the Day with music inside her head. But the particular selection troubles her the song that she often awakens to is Judy s turn to cry by Leslie Gore. Knowing that this is one of the dumber tunes of the past half Century she wonders if there a something wrong with her. If there is there a something wrong with about 95 percent of us. That a one professionals estimate of How Many people experience music going through their head for some and in some cases virtually All of their waking lives. The music is unbidden sometimes unwelcome and often deeply undistinguished. In fact there is anecdotal evidence that the More banal and trite the tune the More Likely it is to stick in our Interior tape Loop a visitors to Disney world regularly remark that even weeks after returning from Orlando they have the cloying its a Small world after a playing in the magic kingdom of their minds.

The phenomenon of music in the head does no to have a name but it has been celebrated appropriately enough in song a the Melody lingers on i can Hearm sip and most quintessential you go to my head with its plaintive acknowledgement of this half painful half pleasurable sensation. Quot you go to my head a and you linger like a haunting refrain of course in Many cases the recipient wishes the refrain would refrain Esther Mckone of Newington Conn was ambushed about a month ago by a tune she heard on Public radio. Quot believe it Ornot it was called i m a vulture a for horticulture Quot says Mckone an administrative assistant at the University of Connecticut health Center in Farmington Quot it sounded like it might have been Sung by Jimmy Durante or somebody like him. The words went a i Plant Flowers by the hours and every Bud is a buddy of mine a it was a crazy ridiculous song. But there was something about it. It stayed with me for at least a week. It started kind of getting to me. Finally i got rid of it. J Hope talking about it does no to bring it  the capacity to hear music in ones head begins in childhood and develops with age. In adults the ability to wilfully and accurately summon music in ones head is considered to be one of the important Hallmarks of musical aptitude. Friday july 8, 1994 the stars and stripes 23
