          Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English Progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use song in language learning.
         Firstly, "the song stuck in my head" phenomenon (the echoing in our mind of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc.) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
        Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many time more motivating than other text.  Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.
       Furthermore, songs can be appropriated by listeners for their own purposes. Most pop songs and probably many other types don't have precise people, place, or time references.
       In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism, and yes, even revolutions.
       Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with song, such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating song, learning vocabulary, and studying the culture.
       Thus, from the elaboration above, it can be concluded that by learning through music and song, learning English can be enjoyable, and it is fun to learn English.
