This is borne out, dramatically, and often comically, by the examples Penfield gives. The following list is extracted from his great final paper:

'White Christmas' (Case 4). Sung by a choir

'Rolling Along Together' (Case 5). Not identified by patient,

but recognised by operating-room nurse when patient hummed

it on stimulation 'Hush-a-Bye Baby' (Case 6). Sung by mother, but also thought

to be theme-tune for radio-programme 'A song he had heard before, a popular one on the radio' (Case

10) 'Oh Marie, Oh Marie' (Case 30). The theme-song of a radio-programme 'The War March of the Priests' (Case 31). This was on the other

side of the 'Hallelujah Chorus' on a record belonging to the

patient 'Mother and father singing Christmas carols' (Case 32) 'Music from Guys and Dolls' (Case 37) 'A song she had heard frequently on the radio' (Case 45) 'I'll Get By' and 'You'll Never Know' (Case 46). Songs he had

often heard on the radio

In each case-as with Mrs O'M.
