name that tune

"manic monday" on an easy thursday.
"easy like sunday morning" on a manic wednesday.

something i've been attempting to document for the past few months is exactly which song i have stuck in my head upon waking. i've been pretty shit at writing it down, as i'm generally soaking wet and naked under a stream of scalding water at the time of cogniscense; like i'm not even awake enough to know i've got a song in my brain until it's steam-heated to some ridiculous temperature.

this morning it was toni basil's "mickey" and i can't figure out why the fuck that would be rolling around in there at such an ungodly hour.

there really is no rhyme or reason. it's almost never something current & it's rarely an old favorite --it's just a simple tune that has been lodged in the recesses of my grey matter for eons, waiting for just the right morning to surface. and the thought of unlocking a pattern feels like it could be the key to eternal happiness (or surely something of the like).

it reminds me of the months that tanzir, nelly & i charted the outfits of a girl at their work. we called her baby blue (i forget the exact reason why, now, but surely had something tongue-in-cheek to do with friday-late-night-soft-core television). hippy shirt with the tight jeans monday. blue sweater with the hippy skirt tuesday. jogging outfit wednesday. and then the patterns (and the questions) began to emerge...

why did she ALWAYS wear the hippy shirt on monday ?
why was there a greater probability of a ponytail if she wore the green button-up ?
and who would win the ten dollar pot by guessing the correct outfit TOMORROW ??

congratulations again, tanzy.

no point.
