1. Abstraction. The brain can focus on an additional source of information, thus detracting from their own experiences. It sometimes helps to ignore the fatigue and pain.
2. Emotional and physiological arousal. It's no secret that the playful melody can cause a surge of vitality, fresh energy and a powerful adrenaline rush.
