Yeah, I know what you mean. Funnily enough when I started learning the classical guitar, the Pachebel Canon was one of the first songs I learned 20 years ago, and I STILL REMEMBER IT! Perhaps it works on a subconscious level, it's part of the Matrix. You've felt it your whole life and you know it exists.
Well, I know it isn't the same, but I've started becoming paranoid with an other song, "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette. Why? I always listen this song when I'm travelling or I'm preparing a trip, it could be the radio, someone singing it or more recently the piped music in the airplane, uuff! I know it's a coincidence but I don´t like it when the song reaches the part where the plane, of the man who was afraid to fly, crushes down. It also remembers me to a very bad film "Final Destination", jiji.
