Don't you hate when you get a song stuck in your head - especially a really annoying cheesy one - and you know that if you say the name of the song everyone else who recognizes it will get it stuck in their head too?
Anyway...
Totally unrelated, but let's hear it for the boy. 😁
Just had my first decent length #run for a couple of weeks.
Interesting observation: Sweet Caroline defeats You're The Voice in the #earworm stakes. Might be a fluke, so probably need to conduct more experiments, unfortunately.
When I listen to music and an Abba track comes on shuffle, and when I see a record player at #RepairCafe, I remember a chap called Tony French. He was a short friendly 'East end' lad. I think he did a bit of plumbing and window cleaning for a living.
Tony was Dad's best friend, he was always around when I was a kid.
He was an Abba fan and back in the late 70s' he asked me if I could repair his record player so he could play his Abba records again. I tried but, as a kid, I didn't know enough to fix it. It was a big piee of furniture and Tony had to put it out for the bin men to collect. He said he would save and buy a new one.
He never did. He found he had lung cancer from smoking and despite a number of operations he died a few months later.
The shock was what Dad needed to stop smoking. Dad never touched cigarettes again.
So when I hear Abba playing, and when I see a record player in for repair, I think of Tony French.
Passed out at 10 pm and didn't wake up until my alarm went off. But for some reason, I woke up with "Sweet Caroline" on the brain, despite having no Neil Diamond on my playlist, and I can't remember the last time I heard the song. Now I can't get it out of my head. #earworm
I’ve started a rewatch of The Expanse. One season in and I’m still captivated, to the point I can’t get the surfacing of the name Rocinante out of my head, it was the same the first time I watched it. It won’t stop me ploughing ahead though 🙂 #TheExpanse#EarWorm#MindWorm

As usual I awoke with a song circling my head.
