Steve Reich and other composers used this phenomena long before this study was ever conducted. I believe Brian Eno wrote an essay about it in the 70s.

I've noticed this before, when watching "Earth Girls are Easy", Jeff Goldblum's character is watching some old movie, and exactly repeats after a character when they say "Whaddaya say, hmmm?", making the phrase very song-like when he repeats it.

Also, now i can't get Diana Deutsch's voice out of my head like a really catchy, but annoying song.

Interesting and I would believe it to be true just as I think the brain will interpret these pitches and bend them to close to what we determine to be musical notes. Because people in the western culture here essentially hear 12/13 notes in an octave our brain could perceive the pitch to change by a larger margin than middle eastern culture participants. Those who hear 20,30, sometimes 40 notes in a musical octave might not have to do so much pitch bending. Although the same phenomena might still take place.
