Why, you ask? One word: earworms. Now for those of you who are not familiar with this term, I have done extensive research this morning. Here is the best definition I have found: An earworm is the experience of an inability to dislodge a song and prevent it from repeating itself in one's head.
Sunday before last we sang the most beautiful new rendition of The Lord's Prayer, titled Our Father. I absolutely loved, loved, loved this song--at least for the first thousand times I sang it in my head and out loud during the following week. This week it was (is) Ride On, King Jesus.
Ride on, King Jesus! No man can a-hinder me. When I get to heaven gonna wear a robe. No man can a-hinder me. Gonna walk all over those streets of gold. No man can a-hinder me. (Repeat 6 times!)
Now this isn't all of the song, but it's the majority of my earworm--with repeats--and repeats--and repeats. I'm glad it's a Christian song!
If I could draw a cartoon, I would draw a picture of Charleigh-Girl sitting on her haunches with her front paws covering her ears. She would be saying, "Couldn't we please have a few choruses of "How much is that Doggy in the Window?"
