While watching the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" many years ago, I caught a snippet of classical music in the "Sea of Monsters" portion, and I could not get it out of my head. Subsequently I would hear the same piece here and there, and always wondered what in the heck it was (my knowledge of classical music is abysmal, even though I often enjoy listening to it). I was a lowbrow with a symphony orchestra earworm.

(It was - and is - Bach's "Air on a G String," a title which I initially thought was hilarious. Once a lowbrow...)

I fell asleep once listening to Pink Floyd-The Wall and had it on repeat. Woke up with Comfortably Numb stuck in my head for a couple days.

I know that YS piece well, as a Beatles fan m'self, when that part comes on I always exclaim: "Ahhhhh BACH!", in keeping with Hawkeye's advice to Radar when Radar wanted to get friendly with the chick Nurse (in M.A.S.H.)
