i awoke this morning with sir elton john’s song “goodbye yellow brick road†stuck in my head. granted i have had other – far worse – things stuck in my head. it is just not something i wanted to wake up to. the funny thing with songs that stick in your head, like mental audio oatmeal, are they repeat the same two to four lines of the song (or fewer should the song only be couple of lines). i can never get the whole song in there or even remember the whole song.
there are two cures for a stuck song. the first is usually just as bad as the disease. you have to get another song stuck in your head. unfortunately it has to be a song that can get easily stuck in your mind like “it’s a small world†or other typically nonsensical children’s song. the other cure is far better and more recommended by me. quite simply just listen to the song that is stuck in your head a few times and that should flush it out.
and since writing this i have found another cure; all you have to do is write about it on you blog and voila! she is gone!
