Something I watched recently had a song where the first few notes were very similar to the first notes of _Life in a Northern Town_, and now that’s stuck in my head [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/5UXnulANF8g/maxresdefault.jpg "Dream Academy - "Life In A Northern Town" (Official Music Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UXnulANF8g) ---

**Pancreas** by Weird Al. (At last! I usually have a song going in my head, and I’m usually not paying much attention to it. Then I run across this thread’s title, and bang, the song stops. And I can’t remember what it was.) ---

You can probably tell my approximate age. I maintain quite a few video playlists, including one that is just early to mid 60s. I love to shuffle through them…but sometimes one just sticks like glue. “Silence Is Golden” by The Tremeloes is another one that is haunting me. ---
