This month’s monkey<\/a> – “Tell us something weird about yourself that involves music.” Ah, where do I begin?
\nAs many monkeyers have confessed, I too find myself tormented by songs that are not necessarily on my top 100, shall we say. For instance, last week’s radio-in-my-brain song<\/a> was I Think I Love You<\/i> by the Partridge Family.
\nBut here’s the weird part – not only are these RIMB songs more often than not terrible, terrible songs, they are also incomplete.
\nI find this particularly annoying because I usually have a really good ear for lyrics, so I can listen to a song once or twice and then sing along loudly- but correctly – each and every time the song is played on the radio (not the brain radio). But the RIMB songs, the ones I don’t actually like, are not songs I’ve really listened to, given that I don’t like them. So last week, for instance, my brain radio played the following:
\nI think I love you
\nSo what am I so afraid of<\/b>
\n…
\nda da da, a love there is no cure… for(?)
\n…
\nI think I love you<\/b>
\n…
\n(repeat)<\/i>
\nMy other musical confession* is that I like pop and disco. Abba. Blondie. Shania. Now, granted, I’m sure there are plenty of closet pop fans out there – but beat this:
\nIn college, I had a friend who I used to invite over so we could dance. Just the two of us. To Madonna’s Immaculate Collection<\/i>. Get into the groove, boy.
\nI knew it was wrong. I even planned our rendezvous around my then-boyfriend’s schedule, to ensure we were never discovered. Oh, the shame.
