    For me, it's thinking of someone, seeing something or someone, that triggers a certain song

    Or a song reminds me of someone or something.

    Honestly I always have songs playing in my head. I think certain people just connect to music differently, some escape it others don't. From the second I wake up to the second I pass out music plays in my head.

    Only other people I have heard that are like this are musicians, however I am not so... Idk.

    Maybe hear or use a phrase in conversation that reminds you of a lyric.

    Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?

    If they are seagulls then maybe there is some dead fish around no?

    There's a reason it's called pop music.

    Whenever I watch the film "Ben Hur", Billy Joel's song "Uptown Girl" pops into my head.

    Not sure about the pinch and poke, that’s gross, I’ll take a refreshing Coke though.
