Dueling Earworms
We had to rush out the door for Sadie’s one month checkup at 8:15 AM, so I couldn’t post this sooner.
Talk about earworms, this is about as bad as it gets. For some reason, out of the blue, in the shower I suddenly realized that “Billy Don’t Be A Hero” was running through my head over and over. Augh!
Then the theme from the Roadrunner popped into my head! So I’m going “Roadrunner, the Coyote’s after you, Roadrunner, if he catches you you’re through” and thinking that’s better.
But no, Billy wouldn’t stop being heroic, came back, and bounced back and forth with Roadrunner. Finally they melded together into one song, sort of like Scarborough Fair/Canticle… “Billy, Roadrunner, don’t be a hero, the Coyote’s after you...”
Not sure how my brain managed that, but it’s a scary place sometimes.
