Admittedly, he doesn't really expect that he will run into Sam's mother at any point. But that doesn't mean that it's any less possible than most anything else, either. Especially when the Observers very clearly have some sort of link to Sam's world - and any of the other worlds represented in the village besides, even if he doesn't have the first clue as to the nature of that link. Simply that it has to exist, otherwise they (presumably) wouldn't be able to draw anyone into the village, regardless of where it happens to be located, and whether or not this is universe that anyone would be familiar with.
(He doubts it is, to be honest. But he doesn't have a whole lot to go on either.)
But there's not much sense in continuing to dwell on that, and so he turns back to the rest of Sam's comment.
"I can't say I'm terribly familiar with that particular song."
Or, for that matter, most music of that era. He knows it exists, of course. But that's not really the same, in the long run.
