Did you ever start listening to a song you know in the middle of a "beat" and not recognize the song at all until your brain synchronized with the beat of the song?

This happens to me sometimes and just happened again today. I turn on the radio in my car and I’m listening to a song that I don’t recognize at all. The beat seems a little weird, then suddenly my brain synchronizes with the beat, and it’s a familiar song. Is that weird or what?

That’s not weird, I’ve done it too. I’m weird though, so maybe that doesn’t help…

I’ve done this, yeah. Generally it’s a song I haven’t heard in ages or only in passing. It isn’t too strange, though, as far as I’m concerned.

This has happened to me a couple of times. I start rocking my head to the song and enjoying it.

Then I realize it is Miley Cyrus or some one equally embarrassing. I shut off the radio and look around to see if anybody noticed.

Miley Cyrus is on @Imadethisupwithnoforethought play list. Don’t let him fool ya.
I find this happens more in elevators where they have string quartets playing instrumentals of rock songs from the 70’s.

What happens to me is that I won’t recognize the song until it gets to the chorus. Then, I feel like an idiot.

@chyna clearly is projecting. She has a poster of Billy Ray and listens to “Achey Breaky Heart” in the tub

Yeah! This happens to me a lot.

@Imadethisupwithnoforethought But I’m better than @chyna… I don’t just listen to Billy Ray in the tub, Billy Ray is actually in my tub! Bwuahahaha! I like to wash his mullet for him.

I’m glad that this is a normal thing for people. I don’t feel so stupid now :-)
