A study suggests that whale songs are similar to pop songs in terms of structure and composition. Researchers have found that humpback whale songs follow certain patterns that are comparable to the way pop songs are structured. Both whale songs and pop songs have repetitive motifs and themes, making them catchy and easy for listeners to remember. This similarity in structure may help whales communicate more effectively with each other over long distances in the ocean. The researchers hope that by understanding the similarities between whale songs and pop songs, they can gain insights into how these songs are created and evolve.

Ultimately, this knowledge could help researchers better understand humpback whale behavior and communication. The study highlights the intriguing parallels between the songs of these majestic sea creatures and the popular music that humans enjoy.
