Songs Produce Madness

first i'm gonna start this post off with a rhetorical question. have you ever gotten a song stuck in your head? now, if you're a normal human being you'll probably answer with some version of yes. however, if you look back you'll see i didn't start the post off with a rhetorical question and therefore started it off with a lie. this is all just my way of saying i couldn't come up with a good way to bring up the subject.

anyways, i've decided getting a song stuck in your heard is much worse here, because with the stimulus void you can easily go days before getting it out. sometimes a particular song will have an easily traceable path. for instance, the U.S. military operates it's own radio station in iraq and plays it on the buses that shuttle people around the FOB. it has a format that will play all kinds of different music, like it's designed to please no one. it will go from rock to country to rap to pop in four songs. a couple of weeks ago the very last song i heard before getting off the bus at the end of the day was britney spears and i couldn't get it out of my head for 3 days. that's not really the point of this post, just an example, so no need to bring it up again.

i knew where that song came from, so while it was annoying i could manage it. for the last two days i've had "spring time for hitler" stuck in my head (the title of this post is a bit more subtle then i usually go for, but i hope it makes sense now). absolutely no idea where the song came from. it's a mystery for the ages.
