I wonder if our brains do the same timestamping when we listen to someone sing a song. Our brain database will not have enough examples of those exact words being sung in that musical way. I guess that's why we need a little more focus to understand the lyrics of a song vs someone talking to us.

Children however seem to prefer the musical version and find that easier to focus and understand, especially around 1-2 yrs old.
Perhaps the tempo of music helps build establish this timestamping ability then is no longer needed.
