What's your morning earworm?
Here's mine, after watching "Rent" again last night...

525,600 minutes
525,000 moments so dear
525,600 minutes
how do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee?
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife?
In 525,600 minutes -
how do you measure a year in the life?

1. The Decemberists - Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)
Heart-carved tree trunk, Yankee bayonet
A sweetheart left behind
Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
That's where my true love lies

Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
Sings upon the birch bough high
But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
All a'chew upon your bones so dry

But when the sun breaks
To no more bulletin battle-cry
Then will you make a grave
For I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
Then

When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
Made a seam to hem me in
There at the fair when our eyes caught, careless
Got my heart right pierced by a pin

But oh, did you see all the dead of Manassas
All the bellies and the bones and the bile
Though I lingered here with the blankets barren
And my own belly big with child

But when the sun breaks
To no more bulletin battle-cry
Then will you make a grave
For I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then
I will be home then

Stems and bones and stone walls too
Could keep me from you
Scaly skin is all too few
To keep me from you

But oh my love, though our bodies may be parted
Though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
I will come on the breath of the wind

3. Trying to find out the theme of an old commercial from Post Cereals:
Edited on Sun Feb-11-07 10:25 AM by Radio_Lady
I think it was a Strauss classical piece. I'd sing it to you if I could:

Post has made a new and crispier Grape Nut Flakes,
(Repeat this line twice with more insistent musical notes)
Better get new Grape Nuts Flakes
For goodness sakes.


I'm having my ears cleaned on Wednesday. (Seriously, I am.) Maybe that will get rid of this worm.

5. "Age of Aquarius"? from the end of 40-Y-O Virgin
I can't get it out of my head and it's starting to creep me out.

6. Petit Princess
by La Grande Sophie. I have no idea what the lyrics are, since I rarely listen to lyrics in english. They're in French. But I tune is shadowing me around.
