Only God knows why I have this song in my head tonight… But it seems to be there for a while…  In French we have an expression for that; “un ver d’oreille” literally “an ear worm”… When a song or a jinggle won’t let your head rest for hours.

I often get “vers d’oreille”. It is like a disease I caught as a child, and never totally got rid of even after all the years. It is to the point that people of my close surroundings are aware that some songs are forbidden around me. No humming, no hushing the lyrics, or it’ll trigger a sometimes many days long ear worm attack.

Of course, sometimes, for the fun of it, someone will just try me.

It is not fun!

Hmmm…  Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight? I figured tonight that those are the only two lines I actually know from the song.

Funny this internet thing humankind created. With its social medias, and blogging rooms and all…  Sometimes it makes me feel less lonely, when I see that Madame from Italy has come by to say hello, and when flags wait for me in the morning… But it creates a loneliness I would never have experienced otherwise. It is creating a need of other human beings I didn’t know before…

I tell myself, “yeah but you could run into somebody you don’t know at the grocery store.” I could, but even if by an incredible act of God, I were to see that person E-VE-RY time I went shopping would it eventually create a bond between us?  I don’t beleive so…

Are you lonesome tonight… Do you miiiiiisssss me tonight?

 

I think I’ll go listen to Jonas a bit, he’s a good worm killer!
