Stuck Song Medleys

[kaasirpent]

Tuesday, all day, I had Steely Dan's "My Old School" stuck in my head along with CCR's "Have you Ever Seen the Rain?"

There's something similar about the two songs, although I never sat down to analyze what it was.

Yesterday's and Today's song medley is easy.

P!nk has a song called "Please Don't Leave Me" on her Funhouse album. In the chorus of the song, she plaintively begs, "Pleeeaaa-eeeaaase don't leave me!" and then there's a jaunty little "Dah da-da da dah" in the background. That one piece of the song is stuck in constant replay in my head. I've driven poor Lucy to distraction with it because I keep unintentionally whistling it, and whistling...concerns Lucy. She must come see why I'm making that bizarre noise which she'd never heard before coming to live with me.

Now, on top of that, I have the Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney song "The Girl Is Mine" playing, but just the part where they sing "The doggone girl is mine!"

Over and over. Why? Because it has a similar rhythm to that blasted "Dah da-da da dah" from P!nk.

So there you have it. Another glimpse into the musical morass that is my mind.
