Strange Places Strange Faces

If you are a music aficionado like me, you get screwed every once in a while. Here's what happens. You're minding your own business and some song just enters your head out of nowhere. You want to sing it aloud, but you know your voice sucks. If you're in your car, you don't want everyone looking at you, so you put your cellphone up to your mouth and sing into it as if it is some kind of new age microphone. Now, this isn't the worst part. The worst part is that the song isn't really anything you want swirling around in your head at the particular moment. Right now, I have "Forever in Blue Jeans" by Neil Diamond running around in my head. Neat song. Talented artist. But, how the hell did this song jump into my head? I don't even know all of the words. I have the chorus down pat, but the rest of the words are lost on me. Is there no justice in the world? And why Neil Diamond? Why can't it be Neil Young or Neil Sedaka for that matter? Ugggh. I have no explanation for this one. I may as well hop in my car, grab my cellphone and just keep singing. Eventually, like everything else, it will work itself out.
