**Find The River** by REM has been rattling around my head for a week now. I like it, but it’s time to move on, y’know? j ---

Gaahhh! Make it stop! For no good reason I have “Knock three times on the Ceiling” going through my head. I have not heard this song in decades, have not read anything about the song or group… ---

After seeing the IMHO sequential threads Obsolete camping advice and Nylon stockings and garter belts, I have Tom Lehrer’s “Be Prepared” going through my head. “And if you meet a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined” ---

“Jane” by Jefferson Starship has been rolling through my head all day. Curiously, because I absolutely loathe Mickey Thomas’s screechy voice, but I love **Craig Chaquico** ’s guitar part in the middle. ---

_Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star._ Been watching a video of **FtGGrandkid** singing that to their future sibling, currently _in utero_. Cute as can be. (As of today, two months to go to official b-day!) In some other context, this would be a bad earworm. But not now. ---

_Killer Queen._ I made the mistake of looking up the lyrics (since there were several lines I never understood). Bah! Now I keep singing it in my head. ---

> [@Treppenwitz](#): > > From nowhere, The Ballad of Lucy Jordan by Dr Hook And The Medicine Show. Ouch. This one could be a problem. A strong dose of Hunky Dory is called for. Actually, I cured that one with a dose of REM. Automatic For The People worked a treat. Of course, I’ve got Drive rattling round in my head now, but I don;t mind that at all. j ---

Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go.” I think two weeks ago I didn’t know it existed, but it plays on an off-and-on loop in my head all day. Not complaining too hard, as I think it’s a freaking awesome song. ---

When a song suddenly starts playing on my mental jukebox, I often have no clue as to how it got there. All day, for reasons unknown, I’ve had an obscure 1971 Top 40 hit by a one-hit wonder band called Cymarron. The song is a little ditty called “Rings.” It was never a song I liked particularly, or disliked (it was that innocuous a song) but something must have unconsciously reminded me of it, so here we are.
