A few years back I glimpsed a story on the news where the headline was “Bizarre Manspreading Assault” (presumably, per Google, this one), for some reason my brain immediately inserted that phrase into the scansion of Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open The Door”, and ever since I’ve found myself intermittently singing “bizarre manspreading assault” under my breath to the melody of the Townshend song entirely unprompted by any reminder of manspreading or “Let My Love Open The Door”’s existence.(I guess I could’ve posted that in this thread at any point since 2017 but this is the first time since then that an instance of the described phenomenon has lined up closely enough with a thread revive for me to a) Remember the thread’s existence and b) Not go “aww, man, I know this has happened to be before, I just can’t think of how or with what song.”)

Didn't the Windows icon for the top-level folder used to be 'My Computer'? I swear at some point it changed to 'This PC' without me noticing, because I've only recently caught myself unconsciously saying 'This PC be Warren G' when I open it.

Someone tweeted an alert they’d gotten from Reverb about Sun Ra’s synths, plus their “play now, pay later” payment plans on gear. The tweeter said, “Sun Ra AND predatory lending? Now that’s my kind of email!”Now I can only hear “predatory lending” to the tune of Sun Ra’s “Interplanetary Music.”

the song’s scenario is basically the current ‘dialogue’ between Trump and America: “You know I don’t believe you when you say that you don’t need me” —“Yeah, whatever. We’re so over now”. #doyousee?

This is the inverse phenomenon, but thinking of John Bonham singing from other thread reminded me that I can never, ever hear “Out On The Tiles” w/o the little song he wrote that Page based the riff on:I’m out on the tilesI feel a little better, now I’ve had a pint of bitter andI’m out on the tiles
