Floating to the top

The Dude (singing): Sha na na na

Me (thinking): cute little tune

The Dude: Sha na na na

Me: hmmm… that sounds vaguely familiar

The Dude:  The Re Flex!

Oh my gosh, he’s singing Duran Duran!!!

In addition to being utterly hilarious, i find it to be really fascinating. This is a song that The Dude has heard once in his life. It was four days ago and it was in the middle of a concert that included probably a dozen other new songs. Songs that i thought he’d enjoy, but that would just pass through – in one ear and out the other, as they say. But obviously this stuck and has been swimming around in his head for four days. It really makes me wonder what else is in there. And how do seemingly random bits of things decide to float to the top so that we get these glimpses of what’s in there?
