Over the past five years I've been exploring music I haven't heard for
nearly thirty years(when I was 7 or 8).  No big deal - but here's the
weird part...

When I heard the song as a kid, it seemed to have a slower tempo than
when I listen to it now, for the first time in years!
For example, when I hum the melody in my head, and then hear the song
for the first time decades, I realize I'm humming it at too slow a
tempo!  And the song seems too fast now, for me, as an adult.

Anybody else here this decades-skipping phenomenon?
