a great song to have stuck in your head for three days

Usually when this happens, it's a Britney Spears song. And since I don't particularly like her, it's pretty darned annoying. But this time, I've had this song in my head:



Not only is the song super-catchy, but the lyrics are fabulous too:

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!


No matter what kind of mood I'm in, this song seems to magically cheer me up.

This morning on the drive to work, I sang along with the windows down and the cold air blowing into the car, mindless of the looks some of the other drivers were giving me. Even better, "I'm Gonna Be" by The Proclaimers was next, followed by "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey, "The Way I Are" by Timbaland, then "The Longest Time" by Billy Joel (yes, I switch radio stations. And no, great songs do not usually all come up in a row like that).

It was hard to get out of the car this morning, but I did walk into work smiling...
