As DolphinLady will tell you, I tend to get obsessed about bands and songs. If a song appeals to me for whatever reason, I will play that song until the obsession passes, which can take months. Right now, I seem to be obsessed with Toby Keith's "Get Drunk and Be Somebody". Not that long ago, I was obsessed with "Who's Your Daddy", also coincidently by Toby Keith. That one invokes naughty thoughts in my head, and makes me giggle when Music Man sings it to me. I had a mini obsession with "She's a Hottie" (again by Toby Keith), but that one I know is caused by him singing it in such a deep voice. I love a deep sounding voice. Over the years some of my other song obsessions have included: Hypnotize the Moon by Clay Walker, Born to be my Baby by Bon Jovi, Nothin' Better to Do by L.A. Guns, and On the Verge by Collin Raye. I know there have been others, but looking at my CD collection those are the ones that jump out at me.
What I'm trying to say is when I hear a song and it stirs something in my soul I tend to go overboard. And make everyone around me, hate whatever I'm obsessing about. I don't really have a problem with it, but the people around me tend to. It's kind of funny in a pitiful way when your 3 year-old looks at you as you play a song you're obsessing over for the 30th time that day and says, "NO MORE!!!" and covers her ears. That was about when she ran out of the room and I took the opportunity to listen to the song again without her complaining.
Of course Miss Goofy is not without the same quirk. Between 2 and 4 years of age, she watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast everyday. Sometimes twice a day. Now, she has a play list on her computer with nothing but the Macarena. It's on there for something like 2 hours straight. Seriously, doesn't she know what the repeat button is for? What is wrong with that kid? It's not like when I was a kid and we had to rewind our tapes to keep hearing the same song. She just pushes repeat and poof, no rewinding!
Okay, time to go do some schoolwork. Right after I listen to Get Drunk, I'm only up to 25 times today.
