3. “Wanna Be” by The Spice Girls is the Catchiest Song of All Time. 12,000 test subjects were able to recognize it in about 2.3 seconds, which was way below the 5-second average of identifying other popular songs.
4. “Jingle Bells” is a Christmas classic, but it didn’t originate that way. Written by James Lord Pierpont and published in 1857, it was meant to be sung during Thanksgiving. The song’s original title was “One Horse Open Sleigh.”
5. Music Affects Your Perception of the World. Subjects who were tested were influenced by the music they heard, based on what they saw; participants were asked to listen to music and identify corresponding smiley faces. Smiley faces that matched the music were identified much more accurately. And even when no smiley face was shown, the subjects thought they recognized a happy face when listening to happy music, and a sad face when listening to sad music.
