The last song you hear before taking off your earphones or pick up on through someone else or listen on the radio, and which keeps running through your head all day has been termed as the last song syndrome. Knowingly or unknowingly, music has the uncanny ability to leave an indelible mark in our minds.
So what's easier to learn, guitar or piano? Guitar is easier for adults to learn because it is less challenging to learn songs at the beginner...

If you’ve ever had a song stuck in your head for ages, you are experiencing the Last Song Syndrome“Sometimes I wake up in the morning with a song playing in my head and it keeps running through my mind all day, I don’t really get how it got there though. It happens so often and the worst part is it happens subconsciously. There are times when I’m stuck humming a song I don’t even like just because I heard it last somewhere and then I have to run to my Ipod to get it out of my head,” says Ishita Singh.Do you remember the last song you listened to? Is it still playing in your head? Are you surprised at how the song got into your head in the first place? Surprising how it happens, one minute you’re going about your regular chores, the next you’re humming a song, tapping your foot to it, humming it to yourself and listening to it all day long. Say hello to the last song syndrome. “An experience or an inability to dislodge a song that is last heard and prevent from repeating itself in ones head is called Last song syndrome,” says clinical psychologist Seema Hingoranny.The last song you hear before taking off your earphones or pick up on through someone else or listen on the radio, and which keeps running through your head all day has been termed as the last song syndrome. Knowingly or unknowingly, music has the uncanny ability to leave an indelible mark in our minds.“Once we were on an outing and ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua kept playing in my head! It was a little frustrating because it’s such an old song and it just randomly started playing in my head out of nowhere. It was only later that I realized I’d heard some girls playing it loud across the house the other day,” says Abigail D’silva.Does this ring a bell? You may be surprised at the kind of music our mind has the ability to get hold of and keep repeating in our head. Right from the annoying jingle you heard on the radio or the song that you once sang in your school choir to the advertisement on toothpaste that you heard last night; many a time you’ll find yourself humming the strangest of tunes all day long. You may not even know how or when it got there, but it will play in your head constantly till it gets replaced by perhaps some other song. The brain basically captures the lyrics or tune that it finds interesting and keeps it there for a while.“No absolutely not. Usually the brain captures a song that is fun and light. And music as we all know, has the odd ability to de-stress us. Just go ahead and enjoy the last song stuck in your head. Also, music helps generate feel good hormones and increases work efficiency as well,” adds Hingorany.It’s interesting how a song can creep in your head and refuse to let go. Music definitely has the ability to crawl inside our minds and root itself there. Different tunes and songs can haunt your mind in different ways. So contagious and strong is the hold of music, that it can almost commander our brain in certain ways.Songs that are sure to get stuck in your headSome of these songs are old, some recent, but one thing they certainly have in common is their uncanny knack of getting stuck in our heads…and how!Who let the dogs out by Baha MenWashing powder Nirma- Ad jingleGangnam Style by PSYLemon Tree by Fool’s GardenWe like to Party by Venga BoysWe will Rock you by QueenSingle Ladies by BeyonceI'll Be There for You by The Rembrandts (Theme of TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S)Hey Jude by The Beatles Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake
