Have you ever noticed how that happens? It's never your favorite song that floats in one's head, it's always something strange and out of place. At one point, I had the song about accentuating the positive in my mind. You know, the one that goes "You have to ac-cent-tuate the positive, E-lim-inate the negative, latch on, to the affirmative, don't mess with Mr. in between . . ." I haven't heard the song since elementary school.
One must wonder. They say we only use approximately 10% of our brains at a time, and maybe as things are purged into the back, stored in the 90% we aren't actively using, that maybe things from our past sneak their way back up front.
What is even more annoying is when a song that annoys you gets stuck in there. For example, WGN is crazy and has brought back the horrible teen soap, 90210 and they run the commercial like every 5 minutes. For several days I couldn't get it out of my mind.
How do you fix something like that? It seems like no matter how hard I try, I can't get the songs I love stuck in there. All well, I guess I'll have to turn the radio up and blast out the songs in my head.
I know this is not exactly an intellectual topic but hey, who cares, right? That's life!

My solution to the songs stuck in my head is to re-write the words. Over the years I have written a dozen songs using other peoples music that has become stuck in my head. Songs that God actually wrote through me with a powerful enough message to sing in church and to a homeless mission.
Good idea Ruth. Rachel. Thanks for getting the songs stuck in my head!!!
