Schlemiel of Laverne and Shirley corroborates the Theodore Reik "Haunting Melody" claim!!

Wasn't Schlemiel in the Laverne and Shirley theme song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJzF8_df1R8 Holy SHIT! I can't believe my subconscious just TAGGED that! Sclemeel!! That is SO FUCKING WEIRD. excuse my swearing but I just thoroughly freaked myself out. HOW the hell did my brain just make that connection? DANG. I seriously had to look up the definition of Schlemiel because I have NEVER seen that word before written down. But suddenly the Laverne and Shirley theme song popped into my head. I mean to say I first did NOT even remember the NAME of that show. THE SONG popped into my head. Then I remembered the name of the show. So I search the show - and it has the lyrics and THERE IS IT IN THE SONG!!!!! OK so Theodore Reik really was correct about the "Haunting Melody" - as his book argued - music is the secret bridge to our holographic subconscious memory.
