For some reason, I have this 1980s pop song “Baby Love” by Regina stuck in my head. I heard somebody blasting it from their car stereo a few months ago, and I hadn’t heard or thought of it in years or decades. (It’s not a cover of the Supremes song with the same title.)

That’s a good one. From an overall very good album with some excellent songs.  
Me: _Heaven. I’m in heaven_, from _The Green Mile_ (1999) — Michael Clarke Duncan.  
Rest in peace, Michael Clarke Duncan.

I’ve cycled back to the The Ramones folder on my car stereo’s SD card. Lost of 'worms there. Today it’s _It’s Not My Place (In The 9 To 5 World)_.

Cuddly Toy by the Monkees. (Which is at least catchier than Nilsson’s version.)

Am I the only one who clicked the above link thinking I might hear a nice bit of oratorio or plainchant by a group of nuns?

While channel surfing yesterday, I caught one of those film shorts that TCM throws in after a featured movie, so now I’ve got _Shortnin’ Bread_ (“Momma’s Little Baby Loves Shortnin’, Shortnin’…”) stuck in my head. Not a bad earworm at all.

I let myself listen to Van Morrison’s [“Saint Dominic’s Preview”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1FQgTJE2CM) a few times over the last several days and now it won’t leave.

The Les Miserables 25th anniversary concert was on PBS last night and I got sucked into watching it. Love Matt Lucas and Norm Lewis… and now I have the soundtrack running through my head.

Weird, but mine is [Push](https://youtu.be/GPO3mZxL3vo), the song performed by Randy Marsh as the singer Lorde in the _South Park_ episode “The Cissy”. It was actually sung by the Australian singer Sia. I really enjoy that song.

_Feelin’ good on a Wednesday_

Weird because it was inspired by Randy taking a dump. 😃
