I had a similar feeling of recognition in Spring 2009. I was listening to a pop station on my car radio and heard a part of a song*. Googling some lyrics when I got home led me to the song "Sober" by Pink. (Video has some weird horror imagery and some lingerie-clad Pink-on-Pink action.) Then watching the video on youtube, there were images of buildings that seemed very familiar, such as this one from 8 seconds in:
I paused the video and after a minute of puzzling remembered where I'd seen those buildings before: Stockholm! Here's a shot of mine of the same building from a different angle from my first night of wandering around the city center:
Or a view from the water from one of my boat tours:
Later in the bridge, this picture is shown:
I think it's a photoshopped version of this single spire:
* Incidentally, I really like Googling to identify songs I hear on the radio; all I have to do is memorize a few characteristic words and I can find out what it is. I remember one time I heard the very end of song, wrote down some lyrics and put "McCartneyesque" by them. I was amused later when I looked them up and realized I'd forgotten Paul McCartney (and Wings) had done the song "Listen to What the Man Says". :)
