I do for certain things, as I figure most do. I mean, I didn't know "Lola" at the same time I heard "Yoda", but made the connection when I heard "Lola" years later. Or "The Hot Rocks Polka", which is a Rolling Stones medley. Didn't know those songs as a lad.
It's much harder for me now as I couldn't care less about most mainstream music. I don't listen to the radio or watch...what did they used to call those quaint little things............music videos? But I will say that some of Al's best has been based on stuff I had no clue about. I'm sure lots of Al's fans had never heard of Chamillionaire before "White and Nerdy", yet it's one of his best tunes. :)
