The Song Virus Game


For those of us with a borderline obsessive-compulsive disorder, the joy or agony of having a song stuck in your head is a daily occurrence. Years ago a friend and I used to trade voicemails; humming a few bars or simply saying the name of the song, then ending the message with "Tag! You're it!" I used to look at that flashing LED on my answering machine with much skepticism. Could this be my daily solicitation from a dating service or was I about to embark on three days of humming the theme from The Magnificent Seven?

Anyway, on Sunday morning I saw an interview with Patty Boyd promoting her new tell all book. For those of you who don't know, Patty was married to George Harrison and later Eric Clapton. I think she holds the world record for being the subject of the most Top 10 songs.

So the song I've been "listening" to in my head since Sunday morning?

Layla

Tag! You're it!

I have had the Banana Phone Song in my head all weekend.

Which version of Layla? The rocking original version, or the Disney-fied "unplugged" version, which is actually a cross of Layla with "zippity doo dah"?

No no. I'm talking about Derek & The Dominoes. Long before Clapton undiscovered electricity.

I've moved on to Fascination Street by The Cure anyway.
