This unusual term was given to another weird phenomenon. Your brain works in strange ways and you cannot control its functions. You may sometimes have things stuck in your head for weeks. Scientists say that the problem is that your brain tends to get stuck in a mental look. For example, we can remember a certain piece of a catchy poem or song.
