Mine is the Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm by Béla Bartók. I’ve played them on the piano since I was a teenager and am still obsessed with the fascinatin’ rhythms. Lately it’s been the last few weeks my inner DJ has been stuck on them. ---

After playing a tribute to John Freeman this weekend, I’ve had his songs running through my head all week. Yesterday and today it’s been “German Centaurs Bake Good Bread”.

“Dragostea din tei” by O-Zone otherwise known as the Numa Numa song from more than 20 years ago. I watched/listened to this song before You Tube even existed. I think it was posted on something called ebaumsworld at the time. What a memory lol. Now it has wormed into my ear again all these years later. ---

“What You Won’t Do for Love,” by Bobby Caldwell. I heard it late last night, before I went to bed, and it’s been stuck in my head since. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/n9DmdAwUbxc/maxresdefault.jpg "What You Won't Do for Love") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9DmdAwUbxc) ---

The episode we finished last night of _[Bodkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodkin_(TV_series))_ has someone karaoke singing Willie Nelson’s _Always on My Mind_. So that’s stuck around. Fortunately it’s Willie’s version. (this episode also had some Elvis references and some covers of his songs. Apparently Elvis just moved to Ireland for the tax break for artists.) ---

Still have a bunch of John Freeman songs in my head. Recently it’s been songs from The Psychos!, a concept band where all the songs are appropriately from the perspective of a murdering crazy person. Spoilered because even the title is probably NSFW. > **And the content is pretty offensive** > > [Sex Your Corpse Up | The Psychos! | John Freeman](https://sloppyworld.bandcamp.com/track/sex-your-corpse-up) ---

Finally it disappeared, but if I think about it too much it will be back.. I really hate when this happens. It’s usually some bizarre snippet from god knows where like _Go Tell Aunt Rhody._ ---

Heheh, when I can’t place where it slipped into my head it’s usually because I heard a snippet of the song on TV (or something that sounded like it) when I was walking through the living room. Today, I had something that wasn’t penned by John Freeman stick into my head. Yep, it’s a mashup.
