Get the Photographic Butt Memory mug.A person blessed with a Phonographic Memory has the ability to instantly recall and name the origin of sounds, chords, bass lines, drum fills, and guitar licks from the records he/she/they heard in their youth. Everybody recognizes the opening licks of "Satisfaction", but a person with Phonographic Memory "...can name that song in one note."
It is not the hearing of a train whistle and being reminded of the long summer evenings in Iowa. It is not recognizing a song being played faintly in the background of a Budweiser commercial. 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.

Get the Pinographic Memory mug.When your memory of a party derives from photographs of the event rather than the event itself, because you were too fucking drunk to remember any of it.
Yeeeah, well I don't really remember any of Friday night, but I saw all the pictures, so I do have a really good photographic memory!

Get the Photographic Memory mug.For some reason, I don't know why, I used to have this thing...where I would...like, kinda...sit around all say and draw pictures of dicks. My therapist called it phallographics.

Get the Phallographics mug.For those too young to remember, music used to be distributed on vinyl records (commonly known as a "phonograph" record). These records were played using a needle that would pick up the inscribed spiral grooves in the disk and, with the use of an amplifier, emit from a set of speakers.
Inevitably these records would get a scratch in them causing the record to skip a groove. The result was that a few milliseconds of the song would be missed. As audio tradition would have it, the listener would end up memorizing the song and lyric precisely as it was played back...skip and all. This is referred to as phonographic memory.

Me: I remember this song...I had it on LP.
Her: Geeze. You're old.
Me: Quiet...here it comes...wait for it...
Her: What are you talking about?!
Me: My LP had a skip in it…and it skipped…right...THERE!
Her: It's amazing how much useless information you store in that head.
Me: What can I say? I have a phonographic memory.
