I have been thinking about earworms recently. In particular, I have been wondering two things:
  1. Why does a particular song sometimes get stuck in my head? Sometimes I wake up and find that an earworm has taken hold overnight, with no apparent rhyme[*] or reason.
  2. Why do I get recurring earworms? There are several songs that just come back to me from time to time. For instance, I frequently find Suddenly Seymour, from Little Shop of Horrors, floating through my brain.
Does anyone else find themselves vulnerable to these things? Or is it just me?

While I am on the topic of music, here is another "Is it just me?" question: It seems that, for every romantic relationship of significance that has ended in a break-up, I have a song that conveys the spirit of the relationship ending[**]. Is this normal? Or is this just me being weird?

[*] Besides one that might be in the song itself.

[**] And, no, I am not going to share the details of the relationships, or the songs, on LiveJournal. Though I might spill the beans if you strike up a conversation about it in person.

You think I'm far more innocent than I am. I wonder how long it will take to disillusion you....

That's your fith-fath, at least the way that I see it: sweet and caring and innocent.

I wonder how long it will take to disillusion you....

Keep working on it, my Love! :-)
