This morning I plugged in my cell phone (and like every morning I do that) it chirps out rhythmically and tonally the first two notes from “The Look of Love” which then plays in my head for hours, because I’m forced to sit in silence and work at this damn terminal. But, at least I have you guys. The Look Of Love Is in Your eyes ---

[Track two on this CD](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007W7H98/qid=1146149316/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/102-2628572-9419326?n=5174) has been stuck in my head for something like a month. It’s mildly annoying to have it on repeat, but I love the artist and that song is intensely cool, so it could certainly be worse. ---

I was explaining my _Fraggle Rock_ problem to my friend, and she tried to “help” me by singing the opening of “Flashdance.” I could kill her. ---

The rocked out version of the theme from “Sesame Street” that plays without warning from one of my toddler’s toys. It’s a miniature plastic guitar with buttons, but lately a gentle breeze will set it off. This morning I made the executive decision to relieve the goddamned thing of its batteries. Can’t get rid of the song in my head, though. ---

“I know I’m going to meet you On that final day Water walking Jeeeezussss, take me awaaaaaaaay” (Jake Gyllenhaal wails this briefly in **Brokeback Mountain** , and now the darn verse is stuck on replay in my brain. And it’s not even a real song. Somebody save me. ---

I’ve been going through a Nick Cave thing for the last week. Today it’s Papa Won’t Leave you Henry, yesterday it was Into My Arms, the day before it was Deanna, and before that it was (Are you the one) I’ve Been Waiting For. I like Mr. Cave’s music, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why he has suddenly invaded my head. Could be worse I guess, I went for a whole week once humming The Song that Doesn’t End, that was a bad week. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because it is the song that doesn’t end yes, it goes on and on my friend. **Everybody** Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because / it is the song that doesn’t end/ yes, it goes on and on my friend.
