To add to others, the words in a song have 3 distinctive characters that make them easy to remember.

1. They rhyme, so you’ll know the word sad is coming when you hear the word bad first.

2. They’re sung using notes in different pitches and octaves, making each word and syllable very distinct in comparison to others.

3. They’re sung using rhythm, allowing you to anticipate the exact moment a word is on the way.

All these things combine to promote easy memorization.
