Oh Broken Jukebox

When I woke up this morning singing "Smooth Sexy Monkey" by Machine Gun Fellatio I knew it was the kind of day that requires me to track the mental soundtrack. While brushing my teeth the song ringing through my head was "Bohemian Rhapsody." 

I made it to work without too much activity...probably since I was actively listening to the radio...however, sitting at work a co-worker walked in and said "another day in paradise right?"  Of course that sparked "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Collins. 

Randomly Volbeat starts to play "I'm So Lonely I Could Cry" out of no where and I begin to question my sanity.  

I dig through my brain to try to remember the original singer of the song.  Before I can get there the SuckerPunch soundtrack takes over and I'm singing along to "White Rabbit" by Emiliana Torrini all before lunch.  It quickly merges with Johnny Cash "If You Could Read My Mind."  Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes welcomes me "Home" and the idea seems quite nice.  I sit at my desk, staring out the window, and suddenly I find myself singing "How Does a Duck Know" by Crash Test Dummies.  

Blue October wants me to be "Independently Happy" but sometimes that is easier said than done.  However, Deaf Pedestrians are saying "Hail To the Geek" so I can't complain too hard.  Especially since Amanda Palmer wants to "Do it with a Rock Star." 

I'm sure the broken jukebox in my head will continue to be sporadic and unexpected throughout the day.  Who knows where it will take us next.

  1. That's hardly *broken*, it's further proof the 'shuffle feature' in music players is derivative. People invented random song-merging in our heads, so we should own it ;-)
