I keep hearing snippets from [Reggie Watt’s TED talk.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdHK_r9RXTc) Yeah, he starts with the spoken word, but he’s got a few beatbox tunes buried in there. Keep watching. ---

The old Michel Sardou song “Le Vole” (I Fly) sung by French singer Louane Emera in [this scene from the excellent film _La Famille Belier_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGaIvHfHFwQ). We watched this last weekend, and the song has stayed with me. The film is about a high-school student who is the only one in her farm family not deaf, and she turns out to be a gifted singer. Her school’s choir director tries to get her into a special school in Paris. ---

I’ve managed to replace one TV theme song with another. Friday at work I was filling out paperwork for three agents who were splitting a case. The client’s name was Cleveland, and I had to put in the client’s name in multiple places on three separate pieces of paperwork. Take a guess what song I’ve had stuck in my head since then… [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MmSW-OM8h8c/hqdefault.jpg "The Presidents of the United States of America - Cleveland Rocks!

I usually have a song going on inside the ol’ cranium, but for some reason–after reading all about Ta-Nihisi Coates and his new book–I keep saying, aloud and in my head, “Ta Nihisi Coates.” ---

I just skipped over a thread called [Has anyone on here been to Spain?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=762069), moved to the next forum and see this thread. No, I’ve never been to Spain but I kinda like the music. ---

[Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5an9OuXKxBw) - the theme song to the movie High Noon just the “Until I shoot Frank Miller dead” line at the end. I can never remember the rest. In searching for that clip I found so many versions without that line. Little is more maddening than an earworm when the lyric that is stuck in your head isn’t in the version of the song you find. I knew I wasn’t mis-remembering it. ---
