摘要：Spice Girls 是世界上最成功，最伟大，影响力最深远的女子流行组合。她们开创了女子组合取得世界范围内成功的先例，对后来出现的所有的女子流行组合都有强大的影响力。辣妹组合将女性主义等元素融入进自身，“辣妹”这个词以及成员的名字都已经家喻户晓，在一代又一代人之中都有不可磨灭的深刻印象。

If you really wanna get a song stuck in your head, you gotta get with my friends the Spice Girls. The group's 1996 debut single "Wannabe" is the world's catchiest song, researchers in Holland say.

The University of Amsterdam has partnered with Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry to study what makes music so memorable. They recently launched Hooked on Music, an online interactive game that asks people to identify songs as quickly as possible based on a short clip.

荷兰研究人员表示，如果你特别希望有一首歌在脑海里挥之不去，那你可以去听听我的朋友辣妹组合于1996年推出的首支

单曲《Wannabe》，这是世界上最朗朗上口的一首歌。

近日，阿姆斯特丹大学与曼彻斯特科学工业博物馆合作研究为什么有些音乐听了就忘不掉。他们使用了一款在线互动游戏——“迷上音乐”，邀请人们听一段音乐然后迅速分辨这首歌。

Turns out people recognize "Wannabe" in an average of 2.29 seconds, according to the BBC.

If you made the mistake of Googling the song just now, you know it's easy to get part of it stuck in your head, even if you don't particularly enjoy the music. Scientists call these self-repeating song loops "ear worms." But they don't know much yet about why they happen -- and how they're affecting your brain.

英国广播电视台表示，人们分辨出《Wannabe》这首歌的时间平均为2.29秒。

如果你不小心现在就去谷歌搜索这首歌，你会发现，即使你并不喜欢这首歌，部分旋律仍然会在你的脑海里挥之不去。科学家们将这些自动循环播放的音乐片段称为“耳虫”，但他们仍不清楚产生这种现象的原因，以及它是如何影响人们的大脑。脑海中的音乐会改变你的思维。

More than 20,000 people have played Hooked on Music, the Dutch researchers say. Results from the first batch of data collected will be released this weekend at the Manchester Science Festival. The scientists hope their research will lead to breakthroughs for dementia and Alzheimer's patients.

"There has already been some research that shows that if you can find the right piece of music, something that had a very strong meaning, playing that piece of music can be very therapeutic," computational musicologist John Ashley Burgoyne told the BBC. "The challenge is figuring out what is the best piece of music."

荷兰研究人员称，已有2万多人玩过“迷上音乐”这款游戏。收集到的第一批数据将于这周末在曼彻斯特科学节上公布结果。科学家们希望这项研究能给痴呆症和老年痴呆症患者带来突破性的进展。

计算音乐学家约翰·阿什利·伯戈因接受英国广播电视台采访表示，许多研究表明，如果能找到一首富有深度的歌曲，听听这首歌将有利于人们的健康。我们的挑战是弄清楚那首歌是什么。
