Drew regarding "Mexican Radio" said
-Why THIS song as the bat trapped in my personal attic? I'll never
know.
@@@@@
That's what I'm talking about! At least I learned I'm not the only
one "haunted" by songs that seem to have chosen me. Well, I feel
better knowing I'm not the only one.
Next question. Do you know of any medications for this?

snip-- And like I say, I think a big part of the reason that I sing
them is that they fit my vocal range well, because there are other
songs, like the three above in my first group, that will pop up in my
mind, but I don't bother to sing them, because I think I know
subconciously even, that I can't really pull them off well.
Hey, William,
Thanks for your thoughts.
Man, all I can say is you've got better impulse control then I do! My
family members would surely envy yours! :)
You make an interesting distinction. I bet these repeat offender
songs are bubbling up in part per my subconsious knows it's within my
limited vocal range. Hey, Drew, if it were smarter I should be
singing "Mexican Radio" instead! :)
Or perhaps it's negative reinforcement recalling what it was like the
last time I tried to pull off a Freddy Mercury moment? hmmm....
For me I bet it's also psychological/emotional connections to the
songs and singers when I first was into them (Elvis Presley I was 5
years old and first exploring music in a new way thanks to my
brother; Elvis Costello college years and all that entailed in it's
richness musically and otherwise).
I bet the lyrical content having some meaning in each song too.
However, with "no room to rhuma in a sports car"...well, I may need
to go back into analysis for that one!
