I don't know about you all, but I find that I regularly (and I really do mean regularly) have songs stuck in my head. As luck would have it, the parts stuck in my head are more like 4-counts, or 8-counts, and on the rare occasion, and entire chorus. More often than not, though, it is the same one or two lines repeating themselves over and over (...and over!) again on a loop.
And if that weren't enough, these symphonic one liners often arrive the moment I awaken. I open my eyes and the melodic dancing of a few select notes starts piping itself loudly through my conscious mind.
Today's "ode" of choice? "Hail Holy Queen" from Sister Act. I actually didn't know the name of it until I looked it up, but after watching the movie this weekend on TV, I found myself opening my eyes and the tape-recorder in my head immediately blaring "Oh-Oh-Oh Oooooh, Maaaariiiiiiia. Mother of mercy and of Love/ Wah-Oh-Oh Oooooh Maaaariiiiiiia." And then randomly I would get "Saaaaalve, Saaaaaalve, Salve Regina".
At least I like the song. But we are now going on 8 hours of "Wah-oh-oh" popping in my head on a near 30-second loop.
I think it's about time I pulled it up on YouTube to try to give it the space it seems to demand so it might graciously clear out.
With luck, I'll have a new song tomorrow.
