so on the radio i keep hearing about how Men at Work lost a lawsuit over their song Down Under because it infringed on a campy song for kids. I used to really love this song but now have bad connotations with it, which is neither here nor there really. But for some reason that for the life of me i cannot figure out, i know all the words to Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree. I mean its not something that kids around here would just grow up singing, and yet i can spout off the whole song, and did for co-workers, for reasons that still boggle my mind. and i'm sure also now boggle my co-workers, as i am firmly established as 'that girl who is always humming/singing to herself (at least they haven't got my Life is a Highway rendition yet) the only reason i can think of is that rhonda, ben's mom, taught it to us when we were very little during one of their many visits. and i'd call mom and ask her if she remembers, were she speaking to me.
or maybe i'm just crazy.
which brings me to something funny that isnt actually funny but if i dont find humor with myself who will? when i left the doctor's office yesterday, after an hour of being a mess do you know what the first song on the radio was when i turned on the car? gnarls barkeley's 'crazy.' i cracked up laughing. laughing be what i do in situations where i want to do other things but dont.
thats not a monkey, thats me.
