Not Like You

4/13/20

Hey Andrew,

Happy Easter!  Having a neat, neat time in Quarantine here. 

I just learned that the word Quarantine derives from Latin and means 40.  Likely to do with so many biblical references to 40, during times of famine, curses, wandering in the wilderness for 40 years etc. 

So very neat.  Hopefully it means that we'll only spend 40 days in quarantine, but I doubt it :(

Anyway, here's a weird one playing in my head, from 1986, by super-pop girl-group, The Bangles.  It's the final track on their hit album "Different Light" and the song is called 'Not Like You'

Fun fact, I never listened to this album until I blogged about "Manic Monday" some time ago. 

I hope you like the song stuck in my head Waaandy. 

Manic Monday

I've become pretty compulsive about the way my blog posts are solely dedicated to the random songs that play in my head on Sunday mornings.  Yesterday, something rare happened.  I had an original tune in my head (I believe it originated in my own mind, either that or it's an existing tune that I couldn't remember, whatever it was it was a lousy tune and I can't remember it now, and this parenthesis is super long) and so I couldn't make an authentic post yesterday.

I thought I skip a week, but when I woke up on Monday morning with this familiar song (dedicated to Mondays!) by the Bangles stuck in my head, it felt OK to post.

This one should take you back, here's Manic Monday by The Bangles, enjoy!
