Cranial Jukebox is set to Random

Every time I woke up in the night last night, I had some song or other playing in my mind. At one point, I had the "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" tune going, but it had the Pogo lyrics of "Twinkle, twinkle little bat/How I wonder where you're at" **accompanying it.

I woke up to the alarm with Crowded House's "Something So Strong" playing in there, specifically the lyrics, "I've been feeling so much older/Frame me, and hang me on the wall". 

Then, I clicked on LJ's notice about their new staff member, and I've had something quite different stuck in my head ever since...  


** Actually, the line is from Lewis Carroll's Alice stories, but I'm leaving the Pogo link anyway so I can go explore it later. I love Pogo.

I thought John Lennon wrote "Twinkle, twinkle, little bat/How I wonder where you're at." It was in his book.

Hrm.

looks like we're both wrong

It's from Lewis Carroll's Alice stories:

I probably thought it was a Pogo-ism because he's prone to that sort of lyric mangling, like "Deck the Halls with Boston Charlie..."

"Up above the world so high/Like a tea-tray in the sky..."

I do really like Pogo's "Deck the Halls."
