[color=#000000ost_uid0]Actually, the pop-song is a phenomenon known as a cognitive itch (which you can only scratch it by listening to the song over and over).

There's working memory, short term, and long-term. Working becomes short-term after some point, and then short-term becomes long-term at some point.

There's some threshold at which the information is reclassified as short-term etc. Not sure when.[/colorost_uid0]
