I've had two songs rattling in my head the past several days and they appear reluctant to leave. Should enough of you watch/listen to these videos perhaps the songs will be exorcised from my head into the ether, or should we have exceptionally good Karma one or both just might transfer to your head instead. Good luck and thanks for playing along.
This clip shows Fred Astaire at his best. Other than the boots I've always wondered what Bev brought to the band. She reminds me of an old flame.

May what's mine become yours.

That, following the German usage, is sometimes called
ReplyDelete"an earworm", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm
F: it's clear you need serious help, swiftly. Lock up your weapons and take a dose of medicinal spirits every 5 minutes for up to an hour or until you forget to take the next dose. That should do the trick.
ReplyDeleteDavid: I've seen an earwig. Doesn't sound like the same thing at all.

ReplyDeleteI dosed with hair of the dog. HUGE mistake. Ask me what the lyrics are to Fanny Be Gentle.
Date night, right? You and The Mrs. have yourselves a big time. Cheers!

You might be wondering. It all started yesterday in the grocery store, the vintage duet What Kind of Fool w/ Barry Gibb + Barbara Streisand came on overhead. I'd forgotten how melodramatically lovely it was, it kinda stopped me in my tracks, so I came home and brought it up on youtube. Let this serve as a warning.

Better make it a double dose. Why should today be different?
ReplyDeleteTouching and concerning the difference between an "earworm" vs an "earwig", in practice in the Mississippi Courts of Chancery [equity or injunction practice and all that], presided over by a "Chancellor" rather than a Judge, there was an old well-known rule which said "Don't earwig the Chancellor", which meant "don't ex parte the judge" or "don't go by yourself to talk to the judge without the other side's being present". Odd usage indeed.
