Very strange…….
I got up this morning and did the usual routine of dressing, making tea and stoking the pipe.
I sat down and realised I had an earworm.
Now the thing that was so strange about this was that the tune that was chasing itself around my skull was “My Way” by Sinatra. I hate Sinatra’s singing. I always have done. I hate Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Andy Williams and any other in that genre of ‘crooning’. And for the record, I also hate Elvis Presley. If you have any problem with that then tough. Live with it.
So why the fuck was Sinatra groaning his way through my cranium? I hadn’t switched on the radio so I just don’t know how it got there. It was horrible.
They say that the best cure for an earworm is to blast it with some decent music. I dived into my wee collection, picked a tune at random and played it at full volume. That did the truck. It banished Sinatra to wherever he should be [wherever that is..]
It was at this point that strangeness piled itself upon strangeness. I had picked the song entirely at random and it was only half way through it that I realised how appropriate it was.
Coincidence?

You dirty old man.
Thanks!
Why?
Fuck the Head worm thingy. Just lock me up with the Halle Berry Woman….jasus yeah………
Your oddest post, I would say. A shirtless and tattood effeminate male crooning some old Who song was weird enough. Then to watch him and her plucking at each others lips with their own, ad nauseum…. I just can’t figure out why you would post such an decidedly uncomfortable viddy. To each his own I guess.
Slab – So you wouldn’t chuck her out of bed for eating biscuits?
TT – Variety being the spice of life and all that. Actually the tattooed bloke and Halle Berry are incidental. I was merely posting the song I happened to choose. I’m a bit of a fan of The Who, but I think I prefer the LB version of this track. It’s a bit tighter or something.
It’s a bit gayer.
Gayer? Fuck! Just as well I didn’t choose a Barbara Streisand video then?
I’d even let her eat my crisps, GD
Oh you son of a bitch! Now I’ve got that tune stuck in my head.
What? What? What?
Your idiotic wordpress said my comment was “too short” and that I should try “saying something useful.”
Why would I start now?
Slab – Ya durty git,ya!
Brianf – Great stuff! Which one? hah!
Rhodster – Please stop playing with my comment thing. You know it doesn’t like it. It has feelings, you know?
Okay, grandpoo.
Missed the relevant bit. I blame Halle berry for distracting me.
