another poster had recently bemoaned the icky song loop phenomena. today I’m a fellow sufferer.

years ago, I read one of the funniest commentaries ever written-- a piece by Dave Barry about comically imprecise song lyrics. Most notably and hilariously, he’d mentioned his version of the opening lines of the Beach Boys "Help Me Rhonda.’ I never forgot it.

this year’s local highschool marching season line-up includes “Help Me Rhonda.” my son, first trumpeter, has been practicing it almost around the clock.

but even when he’s not playing it, the precise tune and imprecise lyrics are holding hostage my brain:

" Ever since you put me down there’s been owls puking in my bed.…"

years ago, I thought the column was simply hilarious. but it’s all fun and games till somebody gets hurt.

make it stop. please.

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin’ man, the Skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour. A three hour tour…

😃 Here’s the story of a lovely lady,
😃 Who was bringing up three very lovely girls,
😃 All of them had hair of gold, like their mother,
😃 The youngest one in curls…

At least they can remember the songs! I was going to do the ones I use when someone comes up to me and says they have an “ear worm” (I do believe that is what they are called!)

There is the Barney song or the one about “this is the song that does not end”.

What is your favorite song? How about one of the many “Hail Mary” ones? That is the only way I know how to get rid of one of those ear worms - start singing a better song in your head!

Come and listen to a story ‘bout a man named Jed,
The poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin’ at some food,
when up through the ground come a’bubblin’ crude. . .
Oil, that is.
Black gold.
Texas tea.
 
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree

Now why on earth did I do that???

I think you should focus more on how proud you are that you son plays the trumpet :bowdown2: , instead of rubbishy woodwind and strings :whistle:

that reminds me, concert in 5 hours, I should probably go practice :coffeeread:
 
Look at what’s happened to me-eee? I can’t believe it myself. Suddenly I’m up on top of the world, should’ve been somebody else… (bum bum buh bum bum, bud dum dee doo doo doo!)
Believe it or NOT! I’m walking on AIR! I never thought I could be so free-e-e!
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it’s just ME!

(This one always cures me of repetitive song-itis)
 
I loved the Great American Hero because waaaay back then, I was crushing on William Kats.

oh-- and yeah-- my trumpet kid ***is ***really good and I am really proud for whatever few moments I can get my brain back.

but tomorrow is Sunday and we live right across the street from the Church. rule is: there’s no trumpet playing during Mass times-- and the vigil is tonight! sanity is just a few OWLS-- I mean hours --away…
 
Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We’d be able to fly together
And we’d only be making it right
We could never go wrong
Together we can make it to the end of the night
Love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I really need you tonight
Forever’s going to start tonight
Forever’s going to start tonight
Once upon a time there was light in my life
Now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart.😃
