Extremely random observation, but you know how songs in languages you don't speak don't actually get "modeled" properly so head-kino has to play back a lossy phonetic recording when you think of the song instead of cheating by recalling the lyrics and resynthesizing the speech, I realized I still had "recordings" in my head of songs I heard last before I learned english, so those are phonetic too. Happened to hear the beginning of one of those songs, and without re-listening the rest, the weirdest thing happened… the thing got *converted*. It somehow clicked that this can actually be transcribed now. Yes, there were errors in how it was "stored", but considering how much obscure, what would have been "noise" back then, had to be retained for this retroactive transcription to be even possible, it's quite surprising. Listened to the full song afterward and it was very close.
