The one I successfully identified this morning was two bars of instrumental section from the middle of "Kids In America" by Kim Wilde, which was on lark_ascending's favourite 80s compilation when we were going out five years ago. I don't think I've heard it since then, so it was a difficult retrieval job, although it would have been easy if I'd been able to remember what came after the two bars I had.
I think I suddenly remembered what came next, and then it was easy to identify the song. It took me another twenty minutes to be sure I'd got it right, though; I kept being worried that I'd transplanted my two bars into completely the wrong song and not noticed.
I'm now fairly convinced I'm right, although nothing has actually changed except concepts continuing to shift around my head.
