fads

For some reason, I've just developped a fad for George Harrison's I've got my mind set on you. Well, of course it's one heck of a good song. But does it happen to you too, to suddenly awaken to the beauty of this or that work of art and, for a week or two, to keep playing it/ reading it/ looking at it more often than anything else?

Darn...

Now it is stuck in my head as well...

And yes, sometimes it happens to me as well. More with books than music.

Except for me it's Weird Al Yankovik's "(This Song is Just) Six Words Long," the parody of the George Harrison song.

But then I've got a weird sense of humor. There are a number of songs for which I know the Weird Al parody better than the original.

Exactly, same here. I think Weird Al often takes songs with good music and gives them better lyrics.

[asakiyume]

Yes, very much so.

Yes, especially with music. And it may last more than two weeks. The annoying side of this is when the alienating song is a piece of s**t (such as in an ad).

Sure. A new good book I can read few times in a row and to an album which "has caught" me I can listen even for couple of weeks - maybe not all the time, but v. often :)

Yes, with music. It happens all the time. There's a real magic to music.
