I'm also curious how all these relate to favorite songs. Why is a piece of music that you've heard years and years ago still enjoyable? Or why listen to the same awesome new song half a dozen times in one day? You already know what the next note will be...
One possible reason is that if you heard that piece of music during a particularly happy period of your life, you then associate that piece with happiness.
