…you go out of your way to find out what a song is and who it’s by, only discover that you already own it.
A year or two ago, I called a local radio station to find out what song they had just been playing. I had also heard this song at the club recently and thought it was really cool. It turns out it was “Come Undone” by Duran Duran. Not only do I own a Duran Duran greatest hits CD with that song on it, I had it in the car with me at the time.
Also, there’s a song in a couple of X-Files episodes that I’ve made a mental note to look up in the past. Apparently, I lost the note, but as I was listening to Moby’s Play album yesterday, I discovered that the song in question is Moby’s “My Weakness.” I honestly thought it was part of the X-Files score and written by their in-house composer, but it turns out I owned a copy of the song before I owned the X-Files on DVD.
