A damndemic is a public health situation where thousands and thousands of good folks become quite ill, or worse, due to exposure to an invisible virus or bacteria. The spread of the illness is hastened by a small but vocal percentage of the public not following precautionary guidelines, and not giving a damn about the health and well being of others.
"If people don't follow the rules, we are all going to be hit during this damndemic," the spokesperson said.

It is directly related to the graphic recording ( the LP or 45 rpm record, quite likely ) of those particular notes, and a instantaneous and pinpoint recognition of the song. Phonographic Memory (PM) is like muscle memory, as it is developed by repetition.
We gotta get Carlos on our team for this Trivia competition. The dude knows every song ever recorded! All he needs to hear is one note, and he can name it. He has Phonographic Memory!
