I've been doing a lot of studying trying to memorize and remember a bunch of things like vocabulary, grammar etc. And it made me think about how I can't seem to remember important words that'll be useful to me later, but certain things are just burned into my brain.
For me:
The Mortal kombat sega genesis blood Code: ABACABB almost 30 years later and I still remember that damn code
My college email address and password for some reason. It was a generic auto generated password, but It's never left my brain so i Used it for other things years later.
The whole goddamn Road dogg introduction from DX/NOA I still know from heart.

Thanks to the Ninja Turtles, I still know my bus number from first grade.
I can rattle off certain parts of SummerSlam ‘92 from memory:
*The opening exchange between Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan.
*The Genius’s poem.
*Virgil’s prematch interview.
*The commentary from the aftermath of the Nailz/Virgil match.
Also, the commentary from the closing moments of the Shawn Michaels/British Bulldog match from SNME.
My town’s paper had a free number people could call for news on all sorts of topics, including wrestling. I still know the number, including the extension.

When she was in high school, Vanna White performed in the class production of "Brigadoon".
I have no idea why I know that.
(I lie, I do know, I'm just not telling)

I still know my old home phone number even though we moved over a decade ago. I had the same home phone number from when I was born until I was 22. That and that mailing address are stuck in my memory. Also piles of 70s and 80s tv show theme songs.

In a Facebook group from my old home town somebody mentioned the music teacher at our elementary school. It is a little bit scary how many of the songs I can still sing in their entirety fifty years after she taught them to us.

I still know my old home phone number even though we moved over a decade ago. I've had two cell phone numbers since I was 18, and sometimes I catch myself automatically still giving out my first one that I gave up when I switched phone companies about thirteen years ago

The fight-as-same-characters cheat code in the SNES version of Street Fighter II, entered during the Capcom logo: ↓ R ↑ L Y B X A It also worked in SF II Turbo, unlocking the additional five turbo speeds. The Mortal kombat sega genesis blood Code: ABACABB almost 30 years later and I still remember that damn code That same code unlocked battle mode in the Genesis version of Super Street Fighter II.

It's finally starting to fade, but at one point I could probably quote most of the Simpsons golden era episodes.

Continuing the video game theme: 007 373 5963 Jump right to the fight with Mike Tyson I think that's still pretty useful information to have memorized (to me, anyway... because I love the game). As for me, I remember the lyrics to the DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince 1-900 line commercial: See? Now that's stupid information to retain.
