A weak mind is the jingle's playground


I'm never going to claim to be a disciplined mind, if anything I'd say I'm about as disorganized and random as a brain can get while still making sure that there's a heartbeat happening.

That being said, there's one area that I truly need to work on, something that if I don't fix it may eventually land me at the top of a clock tower playing "Enemy at the Gates". Here's the issue...When I hear a song, it gets stuck in my head. The worse or lamer the tune, the harder and longer its fixed in there. Hell, for a really bad song I don't even need to hear it, someone need only mention the title and there it is, the lameass soundtrack to my life!

Imagine how you feel when you wake up in the morning and the alarm goes off, and instead of the news its a remix of "My Name is Luca" playing, and in that trapped instant you know your doom...Susan Vega playing in the back of your mind all day long. You find yourself humming it subconciously, catch yourself doing it and look around guilty, hoping no one else heard you.

Now multiply that by 365 days a year...Whether its the freaking MiniWheats ad jingle or the god damned Glee version of Cindy Lauper's True Colours I'm screwed. The damn song is stuck in there playing on an endless loop. Try listening to something I like, no joy, that ridiculous refrain "True Colours...That's why I love you" keeps scrolling through my head.

There has to be a fix out there, some way of turning this off.....<the curiously catchy thread of the theme for Fraggle Rock playing softly in the background>
