Wednesday, 3/22

As always, I have no one to blame but myself.

You know how I always get songs stuck in my head, where they then set up camp and refuse to leave?  Well, I've done it again, and it's all because I've started working on my next History Center project.  How could that even be, you ask?  Well, I answer, the walking tour will be about some of the bigger fires over the years in downtown Marquette and I had to be, you know, cute and give it a name that I thought would stick out.

Unfortunately, that name also makes a certain song stick in my head every single time I start to work on it.  So the next time I do a walking tour about fires, PLEASE remind me not to call it “Burn Baby Burn—The Infernos of Downtown Marquette”.

Although I'm sure the Trammps might argue with you.

Now, as disco songs from the 70s go, “Disco Inferno” is not the worst.  I'm mean, it's nowhere near the best, but it's also not the worst.  But to get it stuck in my head each and every time I think about the program means two things—one, that it'll be stuck in my head a LOT between now and July, and B--

Sometimes I'm just too cute for my own good.

In the end, though, it really doesn't matter, as long as the “cute” title I came up with sticks in other people's heads and actually makes them curious enough to come and check out the tour.  That's the important thing.  Whether or not it drives me insane between now and them is purely secondary.

So if sometime before July you see me walking down the street bopping around to some song that only I can hear, rest assured that there' a pretty good chance YOU know what the song will be, as well.

Even if you can't hear it.
