The Old Rugged Cross / Home on the Range / Silver Bells
If any of these get stuck in my mind, lyrics and even bits of melody from the others start creeping in, and I find myself humming something like "I will cherish the old rugged cross, and the skies are not cloudy all day..."
What are your examples?

I have a lifelong problem with "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye Heart." It really does happen so easily.
And of course, "Dissident" by Pearl Jam always acquires the chorus of "Plush" by the Stone Temple Pilots, as a bridge.

This has been happening to me lately with "Go With the Flow" by QOTSA and "Maniac" by Michael Sembello.

I've got to get homeBaby, you'll freeze out thereSay, lend me a coat?It's up to your knees out thereYou've really been grandI thrill when you touch my handBut don't you seeHow can you do this thing to me?There's bound to be talk tomorrowThink of my life-long sorrowAt least there will be plenty impliedBut When Worlds CollideSaid George Pal to his bride"I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills"Baby it's cold outside
