ELI5: Why can we listen to songs over and over again, but only watch an episode or movie once and move on to the next one?

Because, movies are telling stories, and if you know how it's ends you'll less interested in the story, (similar with jokes). With music you don't wait for the end to find out "who's the murderer". You enjoy composition, melody, rhythm etc. So if you hear it again it's still there.
There are some movies where visuals are more important than story. For example some action movies where explosions, car chases, and fine chicks are more important than story, and you can watch them again, and again, (or at least sequels which are very often the same only more).
