Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 27, 2023

Ugh. Stupid earworms.

Dah-de-la.

Then Alice will spread it when she does it out loud later, it will be stuck in everyone’s head.

Ringo had a song called La De Da.

A big nosy tune, as in La-de-Dahdy Otterloop!

Miss Bliss may need to bring in Timothy Fretwork to sing something else.

Petey always proceeds by baby steps, or nothing at all.

If that’s not in the key of ‘heenk’, Petey’s got some serious practicin’ to do.

Petey gave Alice an earworm. How thoughtful!

Ear worms!

And in a couple of months he’ll being playing baby shark.

Here, Alice, this will help. “Sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip…”

That beats the theme from “Barney!”

Alice should take up yodeling.

That’s the kind of song that’ll just keep rePeteying over and over in your head.

Is that from Dvořák’s Symph. No 9?

Here’s an ear worm to replace it: https://youtu.be/6WTdTwcmxyo

Just like “IT’S A SMALL WORLD”, “IT’S A SMALL WORLD”, “IT’S A SMALL WORLD” “IT’S A SMALL WORLD” is stuck in my head…

Beautiful? Perhaps. Haunting? Definitely.

Try Obla-Di-Obdi.

La De Dah — Ringo Starr

I expect Petey’s version is probably less energetic.

Who remembers Annie Hall? “La-de-dah, la-de-dah.” :)

Alice experiences her first earworm!

But Petey’s first tune, “La-de-Dah,” just doesn’t seem that sticky to me!

La-de-Dah, La-de-Dah….
