I don’t even know the last time I heard this song. So why is it stuck in my head on a Thursday afternoon?

Does anyone else get words stuck in their heads? Poems I understand, because of the rhythm, but words? Is this a common thing no one ever talks about? Or am I crazy?

In any case, I have the following words stuck in my head:

die ehemalige Bücher die letzten Tage

meaning, translated from German, the former books the last days, with a possible grammar error there too (likely it should be ehemaligen but that isn’t what my brain is saying).

So now I have random German phrases stuck in my head. My brain is a cacophony of random thought.

Draft Zero of my current story, someone mentions Dawson’s Creek, so of course now I can’t stop singing the theme.

Someone send me some new music. I think I’m 90s-out.

means a return to teenage angst. Who knew.

…it’s probably full of people like me with twenty-two year old Nine Inch Nails songs stuck in their heads.

Why is it always the most annoying songs that decide to take up residence in my brain?

Dumb brain.

So that’s stuck in my head now although I’m pretty sure I haven’t sung or heard it since I was nine.

(It was also in an Aero commercial in Canada in the 1980s.)

Geoff: And where did you find this musical masterpiece Meghan?

Me: Dance class.

Tesfa: I love this song!

Geoff: At least your liking of ridiculous music is consistent.

Me: Tesfa and I are going to dance now. Begone you and your superior taste! This song is amazing!
