It’s no Teddy Bear’s Picnic . . .

I’ve been humming a song for three days. The last song that grabbed me this tightly was Janie’s piano recital piece two years ago.*

But I’m not so sure I mind.

I’m going to blame/thank Lisa (aka First Reader), whose Music Mondays have introduced entire new species of earworm into my susceptible brain.

There isn’t an official video available for the song, but one can dream:

That bass line . . . That voice . . .

What have you been humming lately?

(Go ahead and post videos or links, if you want—I’ll check my spam filter)

*The song in the post title, yeah. I was whistling it under my breath at work and didn’t even know it until I was told in no uncertain terms that if I didn’t knock it off, the song would be surgically extracted with a staple remover. It took some serious R.E.M. intervention to clear it up.

I think this is what’s missing for me right now. I need to go find something to hum.

I can offer a fine selection of hummable songs — do you prefer child-friendly or I’ll-explain-later ?

Definitely an I’ll explain latermelody. Yesterday my 8 year old asked me, “Mom, what’s a dickhead?” Clearly I’ve been listening to too much Kate Nash.

Janie heard the full version of Lady Gaga’s Love Game at a friend’s house, forcing me to fudge the definition of “disco stick” (no pun intended) until she graduates high school.

Have you heard Kate Heidke-Miller’s Facebook Song? It’s marvelous!

I will happily take the blame for this and any other earworms I manage to plant. *rubs hands deviously* Now, it’s going to be stuck in my head today, so we’ll be even around 8pm tonight when my classmates tell me to knock it off and pay attention.

Thanks for the shout out! XD
