earworm

I don't even know where I first heard this,

or even if I did hear it, and my brain is just entertaining itself,

but I think I remember hearing somebody - maybe with a southern accent or some other accent singing 'Jingle Bells,' as...

...'Jinga Bez.'

As in 'Jinga bez, jinga bez, jingle all the way...'

And so for the last week, I've been singing 'Jinga bez, jinga bez,' when I'm alone at home or in the car.

Suh'm kinda cool

This was titled 'US Navy presidential ceremonial honor guard at Norway'

This was a drill team (I think) competition among NATO countries, and the US - home of Busby Berkeley - won handily.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

A few months ago, my hubs and I met another couple at an afternoon oldies party, at a community center in a teensy burg in Cumberland County.

The DJ had a screen which showed videos related to the songs he was playing.

Including the one below.  

I TOTALLY forgot about this song.

1960s sunshine rock at its sunshiny-est:

'Will You Be Staying After Sunday' - Peppermint Rainbow
