I Can't Get It Out Of My Head

Do you ever get a song in your head out of nowhere? I don't mean a song you just heard a few seconds ago on the radio receiver or compact disc playing device....I mean a song that you haven't heard in weeks or months or years or decades, and all of the sudden it just pops into your noggin.

And you get a mini-playlist of random styles & genres going on in your brain? Here's what I had trapped in my mind music-wise yesterday:

"Out of Touch", by Hall & Oates
The Olympic Theme, as heard on Olympic telecasts...most notably, from ABC in the 1980s
"Low Rider", by WAR
"We Want The Funk", by Parliament
"I Love Rocky Road", by Weird Al Yankovic

Where did these songs come from? Are they buried deep within my psyche for some reason? Were they trying to escape?

I have been trying to greatly expand my musical horizons, and maybe this is just a good example of how far I have come, music-appreciation-wise.

So, do you know what song can't I get out of my head at the moment?
