Pop songs and cognitive biases

This article on Stumbling and Mumbling rather amusingly points out what the author sees as cognitive biases in pop songs. Who would have thought that, when Alexandra Burke sings about bad boys catching her eye, she is illustrating sampling bias? Or that Cheryl Cole is illustrating the sunk cost fallacy?

Of course, it could really be that when Joe McElderry or Miley Cyrus sing:

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

They are actually indicating a sympathy for the views of Eduard Bernstein who, after all, said "the movement is everything, the goal is nothing"! ;)
