What Song's In Your Head?

Confession time: Almost every morning for the last 20 years or so I will wake up and before too long find myself humming (or even singing!) ABBA's "Dancing Queen." And it makes me very, very sad - as in "please kill me" sad. (Of course, this affliction amuses my children to no end, who will gleefully torture me with a few bars of the song at every opportunity.)

One of the few things* I've found that's effective in ending my brain's morning diggin' of that dancing, jiving, seventeen year-old is the theme song from "The Flintstones." You know, the the modern stone age family, from the town of Bedrock. They're a page right out of history!

Unfortunately, for some period thereafter, my brain will take off riding with the family down the street, through the courtesy of Fred's two feet. But at least it's no longer leering at that teasing, tambourine-playing jail bail.

Please tell me that I'm not alone. Better yet, tell me what aggravating tune plays in your head, and what y'all do to banish the evil siren when suicide really isn't a good option.

*I won't dare say the name of other one, but it begins "Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed..." God help me.
