Muffalleta, oh could you help me place this call?

What words or phrases that you stumble across in your day-to-day life make a song pop into your head? What song?

This happens to me not infrequently. Most recently: muffalleta, to the tune of Jim Croce's Operator.

Great! Now I have Jim Croce in my head all day!
 
with fear and trepidation, lest another round of harry potter bashing commence, i note for the record that "muffliato" is a new spell introduced in the latest book. it muffles the sound of a conversation so that two people can converse in total privacy in the midst of a crowd.
 
The problem is not Harry Potter. The problem is TANGENT. Let's get with the program!

Speaking of muffling a private conversation, who remembers the "cone of silence" from Get Smart?
 
(Raises hand from the back of the room)

Me! I remember the cone of silence! Get Smart was the best sitcom ever, bar none.
 
Clicked over from Phantom's whining meme to your unhappy not-so-meme.

Get Smart ruled. And I think muffalleta actually works better than Operator. On all levels.

As far as the songs go--I will often end up singing operatically with whatever comes to mind. It's fun, and it embarrasses my child, so it's win-win.
