“Let your soul do the singing.” — Ma Rainey (to Billie Holiday)

…

So, out of curiosity, I decided to pay attention to the songs I found myself singing this week. Not the songs I was practicing or learning. Not the songs I decided to sing.

No, the other ones. You know, the ones you’re humming (not so) quietly when someone says to you “Are you singing?” (Hmmm … Maybe this only happens to me? *smile*)

Here’s the list. (Let’s not read too much into it, okay?)

• Monday: erm … don’t remember … oh wait! The Toys R Us theme song (the old school version)
• Tuesday: I’m Gonna Laugh You Right Out of My Life by Nat King Cole (such a sad, pretty song)
• Wednesday: Mambo Italiano — Rumor is composer Bob Merrill wrote this song on a toy xylophone
• Thursday: Tommy Roe’s “Sweet Pea” (Oh, sweet pea, c’mon and dance with me … you can sing along here.)
• Friday: I Want You To Want Me (by Cheap Trick)

Happy Friday!

(I apologize if you are unable to stop humming these ditties today. *smile*)
