It sounds familiar... Enya? I don't think I've heard it for a long time, in any case. I liked it, though.

What is supposed to be done when a sentence seems to require more than one terminating punctuation mark?!

Also, has anyone else experienced the following?:

Occasionally I notice myself humming a song when I'm distracted, but as soon as I become aware of it, I find that I don't remember what the song is, so I suddenly stop. Later, I'll find myself humming it (or maybe something else, I can't really tell, of course) again and will repeat the above. One time, after a great deal of thought about a remember snatch, I actually identified the tune as the 4th movement of the Chariot Race March by E. T. Paull. I was as surprised to recall the name as I was the tune.
