We got my daughter Avril Levigne’s CD for Christmas, which I actually think is pretty good. However, her favorite song is “Complicated,” which has already gotten seriously overplayed on the radio. She plays it over. And over. And sings along to it at the top of her lungs.
I need to go listen to some Heather Nova or something to expunge it. sigh
For the past six months or so, I’ve had the theme to Elmo’s World stuck in my head.

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Singin this’ll be the day that I die
But first I’ll have som’erican pie

Repeat ad nauseum. The “Kit Kat Bar” jingle isn’t even helping to drive it away.
Not to mention the fact that I have been thinking that the word “circle” itself just looks like a funny word. Looks like it ought be pronounced “keer’kleee”.
