Spewing from a Pile of Brain Jello

I'm almost done with my grant proposal and just about ready to print my poster, but my brain is in pretty sad shape and it's pouring outside. I'm almost tempted to shoot indoors with my targets, except I'm running a bit low on compound arrows and I'm trying to make this set last as long as I can before I sink another $150-200 for another set. I'm also trying to conserve traditional arrows -- woods (or delicate aluminum arrows) and shooting from about 3-4 yards into a target don't exactly mix. So to amuse myself, I'm gonna post random "lists"...

So there's a certain type of song that's sometimes referred to as "Earworms", or songs that once heard, get imprinted into the mind, similar to the effects of staring into the sun or having a flash photo taken after being in the dark for a day or two. Here's a list of fifteen of the biggest ones (only stuff with vocals) in my book in no particular order:

Dragostea Din Tei (O-Zone)
Despre Tine (O-Zone)
It's the End of the World As We Know It (REM)
Shiny Happy People (REM)
Just Can't Get Enough (Depeche Mode)
Dancing With Myself (Billy Idol)
La Gloria (Erasure)
Oh L'Amour (Erasure)
Love Me, Love Me (Arsenium)
Tu Sabes Lo Que Quiero (Moenia)
Closer (Nine Inch Nails)
Dancing Queen (ABBA)
Tren al Sur (Los Prisioneros)
Du Hast (Rammstein)
Rock Lobster (B-52s)

Here's some (10) of the instrumental earworms:
Trepak Dance from the Nutcracker Suite (P. Tchaikovsky)
Gopak (M. Mussorgsky)
Fuer Elise (L. van Beethoven)
Dueling Banjos (?)
The Celts (Enya)
In the Hall of the Mountain King from Peer Gynt Suite (E. Grieg)
Revolutionary Etude (F. Chopin)
Rondo Alla Turca (W. Mozart)
Rustles of Spring (C. Sinding)
The Three Musics (Jo Morrison)

And now back to the regularly schedulled show so I can be happy and relaxed at TBoF and ESA!
