Yeah, that one’s probably not going to go away for a few years. It’s catchy, and everyone saw it. My version of this is that I can’t hear \*Good King Wenceslaus \*without hearing “Sprite makes better holidays, limon is the reason!” And I was marveling the other day that _Stuck in the Middle with You_ got a second life as a lasting hit due to the ear-cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs. I’d honestly never heard the song before that movie came out, now I can’t go a week without hearing it. ---

I’ll always associate Roy Orbison’s “In Dreams” with **Blue Velvet**. (NSFW language) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gmsrO8xpe-w/hqdefault.jpg "Blue Velvet: Candy Colored Clown") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmsrO8xpe-w) ---

> [@astorian](#): > > Let’s see if I’m the only one here… > > When I hear “March of the Toreadors” from _ **Carmen** _, I hear someone singing “Neither a borrower nor a lender be! Do not forget, stay out of debt!” Schultz and Dooley and friend singing “We still let nature make the beer! Utica Club! Utica Club! A little bit of rice makes it right. Natural bubbles, too!” Though many vintage Schultz and Dooley ads are on Youtube, this one isn’t. ---

Johnny Mathis - “Wonderful, Wonderful” - was played on the finale of Desperate Housewives. A record on a turntable, the needle drops. As Karen McCluskey was passing away, and Julie was giving birth, and there was a montage of the ladies…OMG I started crying buckets and just. couldn’t. stop. (The actress who played Mrs. McC died in real life about 3 weeks later, which doesn’t help). I still can’t hear it without tearing up. It’s a little melancholy, anyway, I’ve always pictured a young couple of the 50’s strolling on a beach holding hands, their whole lives ahead of them… ---

> [@johnpost](#): > > for some Sabre Dance will always be associated with plate spinning. Except for those of us living in Buffalo, where it is associated with the Buffalo Sabres hockey team. 🙂 It’s been their theme music (on and off) since the 1970s, I think. ---
