Go to the Radcliffe hotel in Moab, Utah, press the button for the elevator. As it opens it will ding. The very first note of Sloo John B. I thought I was the crazy one who, every time we get in I ask those around me what song and they look at me blankly. I pull out my phone and make them listen to the opening of The Beach Boys’ Sloop John B. Thank god:

1. It is a song I really like

2. It is at the Radcliffe and not in my home coffeemaker

3. I am not the only one who starts songs all over the place

PS: how about the theme song from Knight Rider every time the car goes over the highway boundary rumble strips? Am I the only one???

I don't get it. It's Still Rock n' Roll to Me.

We remodeled our kitchen to remove a corner cabinet that squeaked the first few notes of The Magic Flute's "Der Vogelfanger bin Ich ja" aria every time I opened it, thus planting that aria in my head for the rest of the day.

Well worth the investment!

Ah, so I take it you don't have a Zo rice cooker? You get the beginning of the alphabet song when you press the start button (but you can turn off the songs...)

I do. But at least it KNOWS it’s the alphabet song. Only it’s Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

You're both wrong; it's Baa Baa Black Sheep.
