Are there songs that have come on the radio more than once when you are driving to shoots or events that seem strangely relevent?

For me it's "She's A Beauty" by the Tubes. I remember hearing it when driving to my first meet and greet, and quite a few times when driving or from shoots. I realized the lyrics are very relevent in how photographers should view models:

Step right up and don't be shy,
because you will not believe your eyes.
She's right here behind the glass
and you're gonna like her,
'cause she's got class.
You can look inside another world.
You get to talk to a pretty girl.
She's everything you dream about...
but don't fall in love...
She's a beauty ---
one in a million girls,
she's a beauty.
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie?
You can say anything you like,
but you can't touch the merchandise.
She'll give you every pennies worth,
but it will cost you a dollar first.
You can step outside your little world.
You can talk to a pretty girl.
She's everything you dream about...
but don't fall in love...
She's a beauty ---
one in a million girls,
she's a beauty.
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie?

Saw the  Tubes once , along with  Peter Gabriel opening for Bowie on his Lets Dance tour ( mid 80s ) My thoughts on the Tubes - completely forgettable.
