There is some work being currently done at Goldsmiths college in london about earworms. The Minds 2 Music project is investigating it. http://www.doc.gold.ac.uk/~ps901sf/index.php —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.158.82 (talk) 15:49, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've been wondering about whether there is research about the idea that earworms are a kind of "left-over" from the language aquisition processes. They is, after all, a repetition of input, although (own experience), it doesn't seem to be able to be "linguistically processed" in the same way as actual input.
