One of Those Earworm Things
I have decided to start using capital letters again, and just in time. I've had an REO Speedwagon song stuck in my head for the last week or two, and their band name has a lot of capital letters in it. In case you're wondering, I can sing this song verbatim from beginning to end, without the music playing. Ask ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
glaucon, I was singing it last night, and I don't think I missed a single word--yet until just now I haven't listened to the song since I heard it on the radio last week in Michigan. I kinda want to go back and warn my junior high self about this..."Hey, kid, be careful what songs you memorize now, cuz you'll never forget them." But she, my younger self I mean, would probably just laugh and spit Jack Daniels in my eye.
Anyway, here's a static YouTube video of the song as recorded in the studio:
And here's a pretty cool acoustic version that Kevin Cronin and Bruce Hall did live in a radio station's studio. I have no idea who the 3rd guy is, who joins them to sing harmony later in the video. Probably just some aging REO fanboy who works at the radio station.
So anyway, later on today I'm going up to Bothell to hold "bonus office hours" for my students. I'm regretting this decision. I want to stay home and work.
P.S. And remember: you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.
