Heard a jingle in a Tacoma elevator and it took me 10 minutes to place it

I was riding up to the 6th floor of a parking garage in Tacoma last Tuesday and this little 4 note tune was playing over the speakers. It sounded so familiar but I could not name it for the life of me. Then it hit me, it was the old menthol cigarette jingle from a campaign that got pulled off the air back in 1999. I actually pulled my car over in the garage to text my brother about it. Does anyone else have a jingle that shows up in random places and short circuits your brain for a while?

omg that is so specific and funny bc my buddy had the reverse happen last month. he swears the hold music for his dentist's office is the exact same melody as a local car dealership ad from like 2003, and he sat in the waiting room recording it on his phone to send to his wife. she confirmed it and now he can't sit in that chair without humming "biggest sale of the year" under his breath. the brain holds onto the dumbest stuff from decades ago but can't remember where we put the keys.
