About this site…

This site is devoted to the earworm phenomenon – getting a catchy, annoying little song, tune, or jingle stuck in one's head.  

The information on this site is based on research conducted by Dr. James Kellaris at the University of Cincinnati.  It is intended for the general public, for academic audiences (students, teachers, researchers), and for media professionals developing stories on the phenomenon.  Although earworms sufferers may find some helpful information here, the site is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.
