Not a phrase but an action - I sing "Cold As Ice" by Foreigner (specifically "You're digging for gold/Yet throwing away/A fortune in feelings/But someday you'll pay") whenever I clean the cat box so now that song reminds me of cat poop.
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 23:28 (nine years ago) link
lol. I always sing "I really don't like it/Clean the catbox/Clean the catbox", a 98 Rock Twisted Tune from back in the 80s.

Not quite the same thing, but while we're at it:
For years, quite puzzlingly, I found whenever I'd see the word 'bacon' written down, I'd hear it sung in the voice of Neil Tennant.
It just occurred to me that this is because my mind is conflating the word 'bacon' with 'taken', specifically in the way it gets sung on 'How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously'.
