Why Won't That Song Stop Playing In Your Head?

      I knew a fella who would sing snippets of one or two songs every single day. Always the same two songs. " Happy Birthday" and "What's He Doing In My World".  I was working installing hardwood flooring with a guy, a fairly boring job after you figure the layout, and I had the "I Love New York" theme from the old TV comercial jammed in my skull and couldn't stop singing it all day long.  My co-worker was reduced almost to tears screaming, " I know, I know, I know ...you love new York."
    Yesterday it was "If I Didn't Love You" by Squeeze. Luckily no one was around to hear me sing the same line endlessly. It's been hot lately and these sort of things probably account for more than a few murders. The best cure for song stuckage is to turn on your record player  or other music playng device and listen to something other than a skipping record in your head.
   I've got "Hot Pants" stuck in my head right now.
