What's worse than rerunning a song or tune in your head?

Only being able to get about three or four bars into the song and then everything disappears.....screech!

Can't remember the next word, or phrase, or note...but your brain won't let it go and so for the next three hours you hunt around trying to solve the puzzle.

Luckily, when the words come usually the tune goes away.

BTW, I love playing Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" while my wife is doing housework. It drives her crazy for the next two or three days.

"just sing it when it comes around on the guitar again....you can get anything you want...."
