Julie, go away

by Zona

Mr. Z and I were driving through the Target parking lot, when a song came on the radio. Although I hadn't heard it in, oh, say five years or more, I sang along without missing a beat. I don't know how I was able to do this considering, on a good day, I have a difficult time remembering why I walked into the kitchen. What's worse, it's been over two weeks and I still can't get this dang song out of my head. It comes to me out of the blue and I can't seem to fight it. I find myself singing it in the shower, while pushing a cart through the grocery store, and I was even embarrassed to find myself be-boppin' while singing it as I flipped through magazines at Barnes and Noble! I hum it here, I hum it there, I seem to hum it everywhere. It's not that I don't like it. I kinda do. Or I did. It's just that it won't go away. I know this has happened to everyone at one time or another, so you all know what I am going through. Do me a favor, please? Watch the video. Listen to the song. Sing along if you know it. Come back throughout the day and tell me if you find, like I did, that Julie just won't leave you alone.
