A heaping helping of the world from my perspective.
For the curious, the name of this blog comes from something my Grandmother used to say.
I'd ask "Nanny, what's for supper?" and she would often reply, "oh I don't know, maybe fried farts and vinegar." It seemed like a pretty random and curious combination of things.
I hope this blog will live up to those standards...
I often get songs stuck in my head. In fact it's sort of like a radio station in there, there is almost constantly a song playing. Friday night after the Rocket game I had Oh Canada stuck in my head. Does that mean I should have remained standing at attention until it was replaced by another song?

That must be a family gene gone wrong. I have the same problem. It is really bad with me when I hear a new song, that I like. I will play it in my head till I know every word. It is crazy, and very annoying. But I never forget songs either. The kids are always amazed how I know every song that comes on the radio. Pretty much every station, rock, pop, country. Weird.
Maybe this happens to everyone and no-one talks about it?????? Or, maybe we are just weird.
I am glad it isn't only me! I have found it to be sort of useful though...I get these songs stuck in my head and I hear every note, so I have found it to be helpful for learning songs on the both guitar and piano. Plus I have actually made a game out of it too...I think it drives Carla crazy but when we are listening to the radio I ask her to name the song on the radio..if she gets that, I ask her to name the artist...if she gets that I ask the album.
I don't know if everyone hears songs in their heads or not, but perhaps it does run in families.
LOL my friend Jan calls them earworms. I currently have two songs, but the most prevalent is a song that I saw on Ellen the other day. A guy that I had never heard tell of, Pitbull, with a very catchy song...not sure of title but probably I Want You or somesuch. Different Ellen show, Lady Gaga wanting us to take a ride on A Disco Stick and reinforces on So You Think Yo Can Dance Canada this week as the song used in an amazing group number.
So, I feel your pain!
