The things that lodge in your head

I found myself absent mindedly humming a song today. I didn't even realise I was doing it, until I stopped to wonder what that out of key tune was and where it was coming from - only to realise that I was in fact the chief culprit. The odd thing was that I eventually remembered it to be the theme from Quantum Leap, a tv series I don't think I've watched in about a decade. I've no idea how it managed to lodge itself in my head. I've a sneaking suspicion it was a mobile phone ring tone I overheard somewhere. After all, these days ring tones seem to be the preferred meme preserving medium for themes and jingles that would otherwise die a slow and lingering death (some of them deservingly so).

Still, Quantum Leap. A welcome bit of nostalgia that.
