What Annoying Song is Stuck in My Head Today?

If I need to suffer with a song stuck in my head, why shouldn't you have to do the same? Sometimes they're good, most times they're bad... but no matter what, they make you suffer. So I like to share the suffering whenever it happens.

So we went to grab a little quality sushi for lunch (and by the way, there is a dearth of good sushi in DC). And of course, this means subjecting ourselves to the usual: the musical tastes of the folks behind the counter.

Luckily, they were playing one of the greatest songs of the 1980's, at least in my demented mind. I'm reasonably certain most people would disagree. But the thought of people who spent much of their time acting producing albums always cracks me up. The '80's were very good to us in this sense -- we got Eddie Murphy and Patrick Swayze songs in the top ten, for crying out loud.

And then there's quasi-rock star Rick Springfield, who's got the best song of a former General Hospital star ever (edging both Jack Wagner and Ricky Martin... yes, these are facts I really should not know). And if you don't know what I'm talking about... it's time for a little bit of "Jesse's Girl."

Jessie is a friend
Yeah, I know he’s been a good friend of mine
But lately something’s changed that ain’t hard to define

Jessie’s got himself a girl and I wanna make her mine
And she’s watchin’ him with those eyes
And she’s lovin’ him with that body, I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that

I play along with the charade
That doesn’t seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute

I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot
‘Cause she’s watchin’ him with those eyes
And she’s lovin’ him with that body, I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that

Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman
Where can I find a woman like that?

You're welcome.
