Save me, save me, I'm lost in a memory...

[kitanzi]

I've found myself singing The Girl That's Never Been under my breath today at work... or perhaps a bit over it, judging from the looks I got in the cafeteria while assembling my salad. Hell with it, exposure to good music will broaden their horizons. It could have been a lot worse - it could have been, say, Cadhla's charming little ditty about the Black Death. Anyhow, I do have a seed of an idea for a filk as a result, we'll see what comes of that. More disconcerting is the way I seem to see people from the con here at work every time I turn the corner. I swear I saw Trace's doppleganger in a meeting room, and Taunya from Puzzlebox (am I spelling that right?) walking away from me down a corridor. It's rather odd and making me quite wistful. Why *can't* we have a con every day?

EDIT: and a few minutes later, my brain processed a black and tan scarf draped over the edge of a cubicle as Spot the snake. I think I need more sleep. Or maybe just more con, yeah, that's the ticket.

We would all die young from sleep dep.

But we would die happy! Wouldn't we?

I didn't want to come back to the real world, either.

I swear to god you're all going to be right sick of that song soon! But then someone pointed out to me that it's okay if they get sick of it now... :D

And yes, you're spelling Taunya right.

... and slip a bit of apple pie under your tongue.

I think I have you beat... Or I'm in worse shape, one or the other. I've been humming, singing, whistling, and otherwise reproducing "The Girl That's Never Been" since I first heard it at the concert on Friday night.

Talk about the way to hear a song for the first time. And now I can't get it out of my head. But I'm not actually complaining, mind you. 'Cause with it, I also get visuals of Vixy singing it. I win. 8)

You certainly do. Too bad you can't burn that visual to CD or DVD, hmmm?

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Yum! That really was marvelous pie.

Well, perhaps - it is proving to be a very persistent earworm. On the other hand, I think you'll find a rash of filks cropping up soon as a result. (Is that good or bad?)

My thought exactly. We have to sleep sometime. The office will suffice. ;)

Too late... Bob Kanefsky's already filked it, with the song "The Girl That's Never Sinned". I heard it in the circle at the end of the hall on Saturday night.

Of course, that will probably be just the beginning... ;)

Save me! Save me!
It's trapped in my head, you see!
I think it's going to start over again!
Save me! Save me!
It won't leave my memory
I swear this is the song that never ends....

(Not that he song is that long, but when it's on infinite repeat, it may as well be....*grin*)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

It's never too late. :)

If they keep making you work the European shift, absolutely!

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Oooo! I'll have to watch for that on his page.

ROTFLMAOASTC! (poor cats!)

I was wrong on the title, but it's already up there...

Now where is my "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead." button? Ah, here it is, right next to my "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, Jim." button. :)
