Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 26, 2018

you had to ask, Alice

Yesterday, I went to see “Early Man,” by the same people who made the “Wallace & Gromit” films. And now Ive got the “Wallace & Gromit” theme stuck in my head.

Was it any good?

Actually he stole that song from Diane Keaton

And in the evening she’s a singer with the band.

Ok, Petey, now play that tune on your clarinet.

Way back when, when I bought a Marine Band harmonica and taught myself to play using the handy included instructions, one of the first tunes was “Hot Cross Buns” (which I had never heard before). It was a sad little tune. “Dee Dah Dum. Dee Dah Dum. Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum Dah-Dah-Dah-Dah, Dee Dah Dum.” Note I still remember it 40+ years later.

I have an ear worm most days. At this point I only hope it’s different than yesterday’s.

Well, la de dah!

Well, la de dah!

Welcome to the world of earworms, Alice! Now you know!

Ewww! Earworms!

I would think a song Petey thought was beautiful would go more like: “La. La. La.”
