I have had a
song stuck in my head for the last few days. There is nothing particularly
unusual about that except that
I wrote this one. Actually it may seem slightly
narcissistic but
this happens to me quite often.
I wonder if this means that the songs I write are
catchy and
tuneful and that they would be destined to
rocket to the top of the charts if I were to play them for anything other than my own amusement.
Actually
come to think of it, considering the type of songs that usually get
stuck in my head it probably means that they are
twee and
annoying and would be
universally despised by all
right minded people. ( Of course this doesnt preclude them from becoming a
raging success )
I wonder does this happen to
famous songwriters too? Did
Burt Bacharach get
raindrops keep falling on my head stuck in his head? Did
the artist formerly known as prince whistle
when doves cry on his way to work? Did
Kurt Cobain find himself humming
smells like teen spirit while standing in line at the supermarket?
