While I was sitting at dinner with Drew and Melissa, Drew mentioned that there was a concert in the area yesterday given by a classic 90s band (whose name I can't remember, and I can't remember the song either, which is kind of ironic). When Drew mentioned the name of the band, I swore that I had never heard of them, but a song popped into my head. Still swearing I had never heard of them, Drew started singing the song - and it was the same song I that popped into my head.
I was wondering how this concept (even though I can't remember the names of the band or song) applies to memory - what kind of memory is this? Was it lying dormant, in a sense, until Drew saying something about it triggered the memory of the song?
Also, how does the concept of deja vu come into play?
