As far as melody goes, that, too, is subjective. My daughter can hum the melodies and recite the lyrics of many of today's songs. She would say that you are unable because you are a dinosaur.
She might just be right!  Lotta thought provoking comments in your post, Mike, but this one particularly so to me. There are a lot of changes that the brain and body undergo in the first 20 years of life or so - I wonder if there has been any research into the ability to absorb and remember a melody as a function of age - and whether this ability is enhanced in younger folks. I've always believed that younger folks remember the songs that were playing when they had their most formative experiences - an environmental kind of thing. But I wonder if there is anything biochemical going on too. Would seem to be a peculiar research study - but no more peculiar than some others.  Scott

"We are all millionaires, billionaires even, because right now we have today. And today is worth more than all the wealth we can imagine. So spend today wisely. Spend tomorrow wisely. Enjoy the wealth of today, and realize it is worth far more than all the money and possessions of tomorrow and beyond." -Brian Austin Whitney
