Has it ever happened to you when reading a book, you thought "hey, I heard that passage in a song!"?

"After a while someone asked the expriest if it were true that at one time there had been two moons in the sky and the expriest eyed the false moon above them and said that it may well have been so. But certainly the wise high God in his dismay at the proliferation of lunacy on this earth must have wetted a thumb and leaned down out of the abyss and pinched it hissing into extinction."

@yourfutureex Weirdly yes. I was reading Rushdie's Ground Beneath Her Feet and found the lyrics to the song sung by U2.
I'd picked up the book because the title made me think of that song and I'd no idea that Rushdie wrote the lyrics and asked Bono to put it into a song

@yourfutureex Usually it’s the other way around (hear a lyric that reminds me of a book), but I’ve had that happen in both directions with The Ocean and Nietzsche.
