    When I was a kid there was a song that I guess was popular around here that mocked bald people with several “pet names”, one of them was “Moskito Airport”.

    Over a decade later I started taking the train to go to work and it took me literal years to stop getting that song pop up in my head every time the train announced the airport station. Nobody around me even remembers that song exists. I don’t even remember who sang it or where it would play, but still - listen to the word airport and the song starts playing in my head. Same thing is true for pretty much every word that is not often found in song lyrics.

      I watched a horror movie (that i hated). But, a substantial part of the film had this song that was driving me crazy, tickling the back of my brain. Finally the movie showed the tv that the music came from, a 50s cartoon that was part of a classic cartoon compilation VHS i watched 40 fucking years ago.

      But i can’t remember the name of that guy who’s come in to the shop every day for a year.
