So THAT'S the song.

For days now I've had a certain song in my mind, but I couldn't place the title or the artist (The Church? Tears for Fears? Erasure? XTC?), and I was unclear on the lyrics. All I could remember was the melody and rhythm. It was driving me crazy. I considered talking to Jonathan about it, but due to the genre, I wasn't convinced he'd know what song it was. I was afraid he'd just look at me askance and make me even more frustrated. I even considered trying Songtapper. I even considered making a brief podcast about it and half-singing-half-humming the song:

something something inside your head
something crashing in the aisles
something something something something
something something every time

But THEN: I was just going about my business, and I remembered -- "pure and simple every time." Eureka!

Oh, and after I remembered, I did go ahead and try Songtapper. It wasn't helpful:

Unificial World Cup Song
Stan Boardman

Whats On Your Mind
Mr. Sancho

A La Queue Leu Leu
La Bande à Basile

Ava Avadore
The Smashing Pumpkins

Babylon Sisters
Steely Dan

Eat This City
Thunderbirds Are Now!

Hey Leonardo She Likes Me For Me

Playboys
The Rasmus

Coppa Cabanna
Barry Manilow

I think it gives "Copa Cabana" as a possibility for everything you tap in there, but "Babylon Sisters?"
