We were driving somewhere the other day, and I was playing a Mix CD that I recorded for one of our trips. Don McLean came on singing American Pie, and Honey said, "I wish you hadn't played that. I hate that song."
"I thought you liked it."
"I did. I do. It's just that now it will be stuck in my head, and I'll be humming it for days."
I have a pretty long list of songs that affect me like that, and they're all over the musical map. I can't see any one thing they have in common other than that once I think of them they won't go away.
Here's a short list to show what I mean:
- Don't worry. Be happy
- Humoresque
- All My Exes Live In Texas
- 1812 Overture
- Beer Barrel Polka
- Nature Boy
- Turkey In The Straw
What song won't leave you alone?
What gives it that kind of power over your mind?
