However, this may be better explained by the subconscious picking up on the user's "vibe" and sociological factors.

Rocket Science released an Album by the same name in 2002. Scissor Sisters also had a B-side song by the same name. The Beach Boys's 1989 song Kokomo contains the line "that dreamy look in your eye give me a tropical contact high".
