I’m sorry, I truly am. How about I give you my [earworm](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPq2HSzgWR4) that I picked up from an episode of [Millennium](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_%28TV_series%29) Unfortunately it’s an instrumental so I don’t have any words to post. ---

Yes, you do. :eek: This morning, I got into a discussion about the music I danced to as teenager, so I have an earworm of “Got to Be Real” by Cheryl Lynn: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EoXvDleWJ5U/hqdefault.jpg "Cheryl Lynn - Got To Be Real") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoXvDleWJ5U) ---

There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Aaaaaafrica Doo doo doo doot da doo doo waaaaaaaaaaahh A while ago, either here or on facebook someone posted this YouTube link to a lovely acapella choir’s version of [Toto’s\*\* Africa\*\*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05ip-N0H1Ig) The song stayed with me for about 8 solid days. Now, I stil like this arrangement but after just a couple days I thought I might go truly insane. About a month after it had left me I was visiting in the home of of a friend. She jumped up and said “Oh I want you to hear this song [Daughter] sent me. I think you’ll really appreciate it.” Click…and it’s baack Doo doo doo doot da doo doo waaaaaaaaaaahh ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > I was going to post “We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun”, but I didn’t want it to get stuck in MY head all day! I can’t hear that song (or even see the lyrics) without immediately thinking about the parody lyrics my cousin and I would sing to that song: We had joy, we had fun We went streaking in the sun But the cops, yeah they saw us And they shot us in the buns What can I say, we were nine years old. 😃 ---

The TV commercials have gotten to me lately. “Ice cream and cakey cake. Ice cream and cakey cake. Ice cream and cake, do the ice cream and cake!” I found myself humming the theme song from The Munsters at work yesterday. Where the heck did THAT come from? Then I saw the commercial on TV – can’t remember who it was, but somebody was advertising Halloween costumes with that as their background music. It must have been playing while I was in the lunch room. Damn you!! ---

From time to time [this song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruef7aYCEbc) I first discovered through a posting on the SMDB flies across my cortex and won’t leave for a long time. \*Why you comin’ home at five in the mo’n? What’s been going on – can I smell your dick? \* AAARGGH! (To make it worse, I actually \*like \*the [acoustic version](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TuOYJe6Ppc)!)
