That happens to me all the time already. Yikes.

what especially happens is that whatever song I listen to first in the morning will suddenly pop back into my head at about 10PM that same night, even though I didn't hear it or even think of it again all day long, and listened to plenty of other music. I will wonder "hey, how'd that song get in there?" and then I'll remember, "oh yeah, I heard it at 8 this morning". Does anyone else experience this bizarre phenomenon?

No matter when the last time I heard it, I'll occassionally have the theme song from the cartoon show Inspector Gadget stuck in my head for hours at a time. It's a great theme song.

I don't even own an ipod.

Go go, gadget-iPod?

My microwave's beep goes dit-dit...dit-dit...dit-dit....dit-dit, and it always makes me start thinking of Elton John's "Philadelphia Freedom".

The phones at work go doo-dee-doo-dee-dooooo, which always makes me start thinking of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Theme.

Gas station pumps (at least, the ones here) beep a C, in the exact tone of the first note of The Pillows' "Thank You My Twilight."

There is a little snippet that plays at intermission at the Seattle Symphony to get people back into their seats, and it sounds just like the opening few seconds of Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". I always feel like such a peasant walking into elegant Benaroya Hall to hear the symphony while humming that song to myself.
