Why is it that I can listen to disturbed, godsmack, breaking benjamins etc. at 95% volume at the gym everyday and not remember a thing, yet I'm singing Sesame street in my dreams?
It doesn't help that my family has what is know as vontrap syndrome. Like the sound of music people, my family will randomly break into song on road trips, around campfires, cleaning the house etc. We're talking about 4 part harmony and gospel songs. For most of my life it was annoying as hell since I don't have the dominant gene for it and...well..... gospel songs....
I have just enough of the syndrome that if I get 1 line of a song stuck in my head I will randomly belt out that one line of the song over and over, often without realizing it. Sometimes this lasts for days or until I get a new line. Around christmas it usually shows up when I yawn and the yawn turns into gloooooooooria, in excelsis deo...... which is a pity, I hate christmas music.
Now that Syd is watching Dora and Sesame street DVDs my condition has worsened. Give me the first not of the song and I'll take it form there. For some reason Sesame street is bearable though, dora can fall into a bottomless chasm for all I care.
In other news, I've discovered why smart people where socks when they run. So that they don't end up with a foot that looks like mine with gigantic blisters on the heel, instep and side. I'm limping around like I'm missing 3 toes. Retard.
