Same for me Bob, and we're in good company too. I remember Roger Whittaker having two and a half minutes of silence on TV, in front of about five million viewers, while he tried desperately to remember the first line of Durham Town.

As to why, in my case I'd have to put it down to over confidence mostly. Going on without needing to do a last run through in my head because "I know that one backwards", then finding that FORWARDS is the problem (my comic songs do seem to contain a lot of words, delivered pretty fast). I DO run through these days and I forget much less often.
