RSS: Random Song Syndrome

I'm sure most of you have had experiences with the Last Song Syndrome, an excruciating and potentially fatal condition where the last song you heard plays over and over in your head, and you can't make it stop no matter how many times you bang your head against the wall or the sharp corner of a table.

Beauty and Madness, an 80s pop song by Fra Lippo Lippi, has been playing over and over in my head for a few hours now. But I can't really call it LSS--it's not the last song I heard. Hell, I don't think I've even heard that song once in the last two years.

So why is that particular song on permanent repeat mode in my head? I wish I knew. It just seems so... random. Beauty and Madness just popped into my head as I was having my lunch. It could be because I was having a beautiful meal. Or it could be because the beef lasagna that I had was going to give me mad cow disease. Or it could be because a chip planted in my brain by aliens was picking up radio signals from a retro station. I don't know, and I don't want to overanalyze it.

I just want it to go away.

I actually think that it's a beautiful song. But I've had enough of the beauty, and I'm afraid that I'm inching closer to madness.

God, please make it stop. Make it stop!
