Very strange…….

I got up this morning and did the usual routine of dressing, making tea and stoking the pipe.

I sat down and realised I had an earworm.

Now the thing that was so strange about this was that the tune that was chasing itself around my skull was “My Way” by Sinatra.  I hate Sinatra’s singing.  I always have done.  I hate Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Andy Williams and any other in that genre of ‘crooning’.  And for the record, I also hate Elvis Presley.  If you have any problem with that then tough.  Live with it.

So why the fuck was Sinatra groaning his way through my cranium?  I hadn’t switched on the radio so I just don’t know how it got there.  It was horrible.

They say that the best cure for an earworm is to blast it with some decent music.  I dived into my wee collection, picked a tune at random and played it at full volume.  That did the truck.  It banished Sinatra to wherever he should be [wherever that is..]

It was at this point that strangeness piled itself upon strangeness.  I had picked the song entirely at random and it was only half way through it that I realised how appropriate it was.

Coincidence?
