I recognised Julie Andrews as the singer but wasn't aware that the song is from Disney's 'Cinderella'.

An innocent enough tune but it keeps going around and around and around and...

 

Charley Crockett as background in a mtb video.
Good for now.
 

We sang this in the bar the other night:




And when I say we, I mean almost the whole dang place.  It was pretty cool.
 

Yeah, I don't know it

I'm sure it is.  I'm too young for the Beatles (sorry Grav I know you're about the same age) so I only really know the big, big hits.  And mostly hate them.  But there ya go

There are much worse earworms anyway. Sorry for your pain man.

2) The bridge section that prefaces the keyboard solo. I love dramatically up-transposing 1980s bridge sections. I try to sing this in the shower (tuesday, wednesday, and thursday), although it goes way above my vocal range.

*It goes above Henley's vocal range, too. He's no more capable of hitting those notes than he is of fulfilling the (unconvincing) pledge to his girlfriend that, "one day soon, we're gonna get in that car and get out of here." That is never going to happen, just like he's never going to be able to hit those high notes. He's fooling himself.

Upon listening to that section and it making me cry, I am reminded that nothing is more emotionally compelling than a vocalist pushing beyond their vocal range and failing. This is because higher emotion is in a higher vocal range. At 1:57 of this video, the voice actor's heightened pitch reaches a crescendo, and they break down, ending on a disintegrating voice crack. If you watch the whole thing, I think he goes through all the "stages of grief"

I get a short phrase stuck in my head, disconnected from the melody or any contextual clues as to what song it's from.
Here's one-- "[something] some other guy." All I knew was, the singer was a guy, and he was upset about a girl he liked, re: "[something] some other guy."

Can anybody figure this out? Spoiler, it was around 52s of this track: spoiler (not a rickroll)

I had to force the words to repeat over and over, guessing at different melodies, or what other words happened before or after this, until eventually "breaking loose" the memory of how the song sounds. Is this what dementia is like? Will this eventually happen to me with people's names and faces? Is this a sneak preview of my mind disintegrating? Or I am just experiencing symptoms of having an "association-based" imaginattion.

I just learned today that pathological liars have much more white matter, and less grey matter than normal people in their frontal cortex. This would indicate higher connectivity, and I would think "creativity"

hey, thanks, monster
my brain couldn't remember how Living Dead Girl goes, so it's decided to put Dragula on repeat
