Ultimate Mind Worm

Last millennium, back when we lived in Chicago, the oldies station did a weekend countdown of the top gazillion oldies.

We were gathered 'round the radio when it finally came time to see what they thought was #1. And with much drumroll and drama, the DJ spun up "Red Rubber Ball."

Ha ha, they scratched that after the first chorus, and put on the real #1, whatever it was, long forgotten.

But I've had "Red Rubber Ball" stuck in my head ever since. Worst. Brain. Worm. Ever.

It's not really a bad song. Think it's gonna be all right, yeah, the worst is over now. They just shouldn't have recorded it with the "placeholder" lyric. The morning sun is shining like... ANYTHING BUT THAT!
