What’s the science behind getting songs stuck in your head?

I’ve had Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name” stuck in my head for almost a whole week and I really can’t get it out. Help me understand why!

Jumping on this too: not because I have an answer, but because I’m curious as well!

I also wonder about why certain songs come to me at certain moments, or moreso the science behind it. I was helping my brother get ready for his wedding, and I just casually started whistling, “Run To the Hills” by Iron Maiden. I didn’t even realize what song it was until he asked me. I thought about it, told him, and we agreed it wasn’t the best tune for me to be whistling that morning.

Help me out here science, help me show my brother I wasn’t trying to ruin his wedding.
