Most people know the feeling of having a song stuck in your head. Maybe it’s a television commercial. Maybe it’s somebody’s annoying ringtone, or some hideous chipmunk trio. But it happens to everybody.
It always hits when you’re trying to fall asleep. I kinda like that. It gives me something interesting to listen to as I fall asleep.
What I can’t explain is the disturbing trend that I’ve noticed recently. Instead of falling asleep with a song stuck in my head, I wake up with one in there. And I have no idea how it got there, where it comes from, nothing.
The worst part of it is that I usually eat breakfast alone. Which means I’m sitting by myself with nothing but the title theme from “Oklahoma” playing over and over and over again. My spirits are as soggy as my frosted flakes.
Since blasting loud rock music all throughout the house at an ungodly hour of the morning won’t keep my popularity around here very high for long, I can only see one solution for now: to find the source of the music.
My theory is that somewhere, somehow, there is an enemy of mine. And this enemy sneaks into my bedroom, under cover of darkness, and plays the chosen abomination of the night, very softly, right next to my ears.
Which would explain why I woke up with Lady Gaga in my ears the last five days in a row. Unless there’s some very disturbing psychoanalyzation issues going on here.
And I don’t think I know anybody who could be that cruel.
But if I ever do catch this weasel at it, I’ve got a wonderful mix of Colbie Caillat and Taylor Swift that I will use to reduce them to a simpering, babbling mass of their former selves.

I woke up with Carrie Underwood’s new song playing in my head like last week. I’ve only heard about 30 seconds of the song before and I don’t even like country! It was weird.

Just wait, in a few years you’ll wake up with veggie tales songs in your head. It’s annoying but at least the message can be good, unless it’s a song like ‘oh where is my hairbrush?’
