The counting?
Yea. Our interest in lyrics may be an interest in 1 of 3 things: (1) the content of the sentences, (2) the pace at which the words are being sung (the counting), or (3) both #1 and #2.
#2 is often thought to be associated with the rhythm or beat of the song (which may or may not be true depending on the song). This interest often goes unnoticed. Regardless, though, it stands that we derive a significant amount of pleasure from repeating certain patterns of counting.
Ex) the song that's in my head right now is like: 1....2..3.4.5...6..7.8.9...10..11, etc...where the dots represent how long the note is held and which syllable of the word is being held for how long.
