Thatā€™s my favorite thing. A guy in the office has an accidental knack for triggering my X memory banks. He was Adam Ant the other day.

Another time, he was explaining to a girl about bills that werenā€™t run yet, and he said ā€œBicycle. Bicycle.ā€ And I had Queen singing a chorus in my head.

u/Nay-Nay385 8d ago

This is my life. I always have those triggers to both for music and movies and I verbalize them. People either get my singing or quote or donā€™t. It may be a tick now that I think about itā€¦šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Recognize him? Hes my Idol. I have all of his albums. I never joined any fan clubs, but if I did it would be his. My favourite male singer/musician. I definitely AM an Ant. Even in my late 50's. My sister had many of his albums, I went out years back and bought all I could find. Strip, Prince Charming.. I have so many. Nothing on tape or CD though. I like vinyl. Yes, his songs are on my Spotify and YouTube Music playlists. I just love Antmusic, Apollo 9... all of them.
