OK. This is pretty obscure, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway as it's been stuck in my head for a few days. If you have a 3DS you will undoubtedly have been charmed by the StreetPass Mii Plaza music. It's very catchy. But from the first moment it tinkled its way into my ears, it sounded very familiar.

That is all.
