Lyrics that pop into your head from nowhere

Every so often the line:

"This ain't race/A mind is a terrible thing to waste/I drop the rap while J drops the bass"

enters my head. This time I was like "Wait, where the fuck is that from?". So I Googled it to find it's Rappin 4 Tay from 1994. I listened to the YouTube video, and other than that line I don't remember ever hearing that song before. And now I'm freaked out because that snippet of a line, from probably the fifth verse of that song has obviously stuck with me since I was a teenager, but the beat, the rest of the song (which is pretty catchy and funky) hasn't been retained at all. Oliver Sacks where are you?

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this thread title was "Gonna walk down to / electric avenue".

any random line from "get it together" by the beastie boys will pop into my head at the slightest prompting.

The chorus of 'Left To My Own Devices' by Pet Shop Boys is a regular one that pops into my head from nowhere and then doesn't leave for ages.

"Week in the Lakes, reasonable rates, early September."

ever since my holiday a month or so back.
