When I was about to watch the movie "Fletch" in the theater in 1985, I convinced my little sister that the Kool and the Gang's "Fresh", which was a hit at the time, was actually called "Fletch" and was in fact the theme for the movie we were about to see. So if I see a reference to to Fletch somewhere "He's Fletch...exciting...he's so exciting to me" starts running through my head.

oh god, "the doors" hit me at the worst times and i annoy myself even thinking about itwaiting... waiting... waiting... wai-ai-ting
that and almost every person i know has a song permanently attached to them. "jessie's girl" and "hey joe" are by far the worst, and people with those names soon learn to avoid me. if their name is two syllables and i can't think of anything better, the "feelings" chorus usually does the trick
