Yesterday's post was on the problem of not having any subject to write about. KO has a razor sharp, mousetrap-quick mind but reports having that problem. Still, a challenge is a challenge and I got this effort today:
Where is an orange M&M when you need it?
For the past couple of days I have been bedeviled by an "earworm". An earworm is a song you can't get out of your head. My particular earworm is the song "That's How You Know" from Disney's "Enchanted". The song is presented in a song/dance extravaganza running through Central Park in New York. It is upbeat and fun and there must be nearly 100 singers/dancers in the production. One sequence has a series of about six elderly men doing a brief dance step—and I have learned that several of them were dancers in the chimney sweep dance sequence in "Mary Poppins" and dancers in "West Side Story". You go, guys!
The song itself is addicting. Yes, it makes me feel upbeat and happy, but enough already. An M&M addicted friend---and I mean seriously addicted---most days we had to pull him off the ceiling due to a sugar high. His birthday was the (un)official Norwegian M&M day which called for a 2# bag to be shared. He was potty training his son with M&Ms as reward…..THAT'S addicted. Anyway, he once told me a red M&M makes you angry, a yellow M&M makes you happy, a green M&M makes you horny, a brown M&M does nothing, and an orange M&M removes an ear worm. Thus my need for an orange M&M….peanut or plain, makes no difference.
If you want to check out whether this actually works or not, go to "YouTube", call up That's How You Know from Disney's "Enchanted", catch the earworm (but feel good) and try it. Don't say I didn't warn you
Getting up this morning, the earworm was gone without the use of an orange M&M---but it is lurking. I can feel it close. Time for Irish oatmeal to keep it at bay.
