I can name that song in …
Blob: I have the worst song in my head, why does this happen to me? I don’t even know the words.
Bryan: What is it?
Blob: Mmmm-hmmm-hmm pick a bale of cotton, Mmm-hmmm-hmm, pick a bale of hay
[blank stares]
Blob: None of you have ever heard that song? [looking up the song online to play it for everyone – starts playing the song “Pick a Bale of Cotton”]
Everybody: [scrunch face]?!?
Blob: Okay, well … this is not the original artist. Any guesses as to who is singing this song? I’ll give you a clue … their name uses only two letters.
Yohn: Is it … Abba??
Blob: IT IS ABBA!! Is this not the craziest thing you’ve ever heard? Why did ABBA record this song?
Yohn: I would rather pick a bale of cotton than listen to [eyeroll] “Pick a Bale of Cotton”
Bryan: … you can play that song at your next rally.
The names of the “Bryan”, “Blob”, and “Yohn” have been changed so you don’t know who they are …

ABBA has good guilty pleasure songs for those of us who were small kids in the 70’s. I have to admit I had forgotten about that one. The real question is why (oh why) was this song going through your head?
I have no idea why that song was in my head. I think part of the reason I love the “what’s this song” game is that I am so good at it … I always have about 10 going my head at the same time (although some are better than others)
