A Better Title

It is an important and popular fact that at times, there are songs which, through some sort of chemical reactions of close-to-infinite improbability in the brain, get stuck in one’s mind. It is quite possible that these songs are of importance to the person because it reminds the person of something special. Or, it could be simply that the person finds the song catchy or nice.

When this happens to me, I usually have these songs played on repeat mode in Winamp (or Rhythmbox or whatever multimedia player I happen to have open at the time). This typically lasts for about a week, before the songs are ultimately downgraded and soon forgotten in the legion of the typical songs.

I have an obsession in two songs currently: Counting Crows’s Accidentally In Love, and Bed & Breakfast’s If You Were Mine.

I found that myself found that the two songs are catchy or nice, because unlike Bulldog Mansion’s Happy Birthday To Me which got stuck during the weeks following my birthday, or Anthony Way’s For The Beauty of the Earth, which remained in my mind for a couple of days after one incident which I shall not disclose here, I am not accidentally in love, and neither am I currently wishing anyone were mine.

PS: It is also an important and popular fact that it is often difficult to duplicate another person’s style of writing. A good example of this can readily be seen in this entry, in which I try to duplicate Douglas Adam’s style of writing in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, with kind of unsatisfactory result. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy itself is a trilogy of five books of insane randomness and utter nonsense, which, through some sort of chemical reactions of close-to-infinite improbability in the brain, actually has this uncanny ability to captivate the readers.
