Do not ask me WHAT got this song into my head, but it has been ear-worming me for the past 6 hours now and counting. Back when I was in middle school we did "Star of the Week": we got to put a ton of information about ourselves up on posters with our picture, and for one week the poster hung in the classroom and that student was "featured". I put The Sign down as my favorite song, but for the artist I wrote "Ace THE Base" instead of "Ace OF Base". I got so picked on! One of the cool boys in the class called me a "wannabe" and said that I wasn't popular and with-it enough to know the actual artist of the song. I was a poser in his book. I felt so mortified. 
Nothing has changed since then as far as my musical knowledge goes. I always know the lyrics to a song but I can never tell you who sings it. I would like to think that I am a more self-confident person now, though. Maybe I'm able to laugh off more things that in the past would have really humiliated me. I'd like to think so.
No one's gonna drag you up to get you into the light where you belong.
