Eli5: music memory

How does your brain remember music? For most songs I can't recall the beat or the lyrics but the instant I bear the music I can recognize the song and all the lyrics. How does this work and is this different than other memories I have?

This is a fantastic question and part of neurological research.

Simple version: human brain tend to be very good at remembering sequences. Think of your ABCs. You can probably pick up the tune from any point in the sequence, but will struggle to go in reverse or random order. 

This is true for so many things, such as dance and using tools for many tasks.
