Song Sung Blue

I woke up with a tune in my head. It always happen. Like a couple of days ago, the kick ass team (that's what we are called here) was preparing a number for the national staff. Something of a first -- in all my missions. So we were practicing to I'll Be There For You by the Rembrandts (theme from Friends) and the entire night, I wasn't able to sleep a wink because I can see Jennifer Aniston's round face jumping up and down - endlessly - to the refrain of that song.

I had this tune in my head today. Weird. Not the Friends theme, but something from Sesame Street.

"Who are the people in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood..."

What the ...? I have no idea but it just keeps on going. I tried to erase it with rock, or hum James Blunt's Same Mistake, and later segue-ing to Mano Chao, but still the Sesame Street song continued.

"yeah who are the people in your neighborhood, the people that you meet each day..."

David, one of our doctors here was talking to me, and I sort of answered something, but still Sesame Street ruled my brain.

So, feeling desperate, I took a walk to the clinic with my ipod blasting on my phones, hoping that this irritating tune would vanish.

I saw Daniel, our clinic manager, while he was bending over the generator. He was singing " I love big butts..." by MC Hammer. I couldn't hold it - I burst out laughing. I never expected this guy to sing this song.

He was successful in helping me take out Sesame Street Song. Now all I have to do is to find a song to take Big Butts off my mind.
