全球最洗腦神曲 辣妹"Wannabe"登頂（雙語）

If you really wanna get a song stuck in your head, you gotta get with my friends the Spice Girls. The group's 1996 debut single "Wannabe" is the world's catchiest song, researchers in Holland say.

The University of Amsterdam has partnered with Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry to study what makes music so memorable. They recently launched Hooked on Music, an online interactive game that asks people to identify songs as quickly as possible based on a short clip.

Turns out people recognize "Wannabe" in an average of 2.29 seconds, according to the BBC.
If you made the mistake of Googling the song just now, you know it's easy to get part of it stuck in your head, even if you don't particularly enjoy the music. Scientists call these self-repeating song loops "ear worms." But they don't know much yet about why they happen -- and how they're affecting your brain.

Music: It's in your head, changing your brain

More than 20,000 people have played Hooked on Music, the Dutch researchers say. Results from the first batch of data collected will be released this weekend at the Manchester Science Festival. The scientists hope their research will lead to breakthroughs for dementia and Alzheimer's patients.

"There has already been some research that shows that if you can find the right piece of music, something that had a very strong meaning, playing that piece of music can be very therapeutic," computational musicologist John Ashley Burgoyne told the BBC. "The challenge is figuring out what is the best piece of music."

The top 10 catchiest songs, according to the Hooked on Music experiment, are:

1. Spice Girls, "Wannabe"

2. Lou Bega, "Mambo No. 5"

3. Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger"

4. Lady Gaga, "Just Dance"

5. ABBA, "SOS"

6. Roy Orbison, "Pretty Woman"

7. Michael Jackson, "Beat It"

8. Whitney Houston, "I Will Always Love You"

9. The Human League, "Don't You Want Me"

10. Aerosmith, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"

Warning: These ear worms may come with some zig-a-zig-ah.

荷蘭研究人員表示，如果你特別希望有一首歌在腦海里揮之不去，那你可以去聽聽我的朋友辣妹組合（Spice Girls）于1996年推出的首支單曲《Wannabe》，這是世界上最朗朗上口的一首歌。

近日，阿姆斯特丹大學(xué)（The University of Amsterdam）與曼徹斯特科學(xué)工業(yè)博物館（Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry）合作研究為什么有些音樂聽了就忘不掉。他們使用了一款在線互動游戲——“迷上音樂”（Hooked on Music），邀請人們聽一段音樂然后迅速分辨這首歌。

英國廣播電視臺（BBC）表示，人們分辨出《Wannabe》這首歌的時間平均為2.29秒。

如果你不小心現(xiàn)在就去谷歌搜索這首歌，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)，即使你并不喜歡這首歌，部分旋律仍然會在你的腦海里揮之不去�？茖W(xué)家們將這些自動循環(huán)播放的音樂片段稱為“耳蟲”，但他們?nèi)圆磺宄�產(chǎn)生這種現(xiàn)象的原因，以及它是如何影響人們的大腦。腦海中的音樂會改變你的思維。

荷蘭研究人員稱，已有2萬多人玩過“迷上音樂”這款游戲。收集到的第一批數(shù)據(jù)將于這周末在曼徹斯特科學(xué)節(jié)上公布結(jié)果�？茖W(xué)家們希望這項研究能給癡呆癥和老年癡呆癥患者帶來突破性的進展。
計算音樂學(xué)家約翰·阿什利·伯戈因（John Ashley Burgoyne）接受英國廣播電視臺采訪表示，許多研究表明，如果能找到一首富有深度的歌曲，聽聽這首歌將有利于人們的健康。我們的挑戰(zhàn)是弄清楚那首歌是什么。

以下是“迷上音樂”選出的全球十大最朗朗上口的歌曲：

1. Spice Girls——"Wannabe"

2. Lou Bega——"Mambo No. 5"

3. Survivor——"Eye of the Tiger"

4. Lady Gaga——"Just Dance"

5. ABBA——"SOS"

6. Roy Orbison——"Pretty Woman"

7. Michael Jackson——"Beat It"

8. Whitney Houston——"I Will Always Love You"

9. The Human League——"Don't You Want Me"

10. Aerosmith——"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"

溫馨提示：這些“耳蟲”會在你的腦袋里反復(fù)出沒。
