why is it always "me, me"?

"Write down the names of the first four songs to come to mind."
(1) Peter Gabriel, "In Your Eyes" (the Secret World Live version)
This one's been going around for a bit; among other things, it is the first song that appears on the compilation CD that Megan and I burned of "lullabies" (or at least things to play while he's going to sleep) for Corwin. (Yes, Megan and I have weird ideas of what constitutes a lullaby.)
(2) Dire Straits, "Money For Nothing", Brothers In Arms
Specifically, the electric guitar solo at the beginning. The transition to auralizing1 this from (1) was very sharp, much like changing a channel.
(3) Bobby McFerrin [Fauré], "Pavane", Paper Music
This was on the short list of pieces that Megan and I considered using for our personal wedding processional. (The parents and the wedding party each got their own piece.) What's amusing is that while this is the third piece of music I auralized, it is not the third song name that came to mind; I started auralizing this one while fishing around in my brain for the next.
(4) Canadian Brass [Bach], "Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor", The Pachelbel Canon: Great Baroque Music
Not sure why this one came to mind, really. I have occasionally thought that it might be appropriate as my funeral music. It also reminds me, thematically, somehow, of some of Pink Floyd's music.
