there is a new reality show on tv this sumemr called "singing bee", in which ocntestants are asked to karaoke with a variety of pop music over the past fifty years. Part of the song will be left blank and the inger must fill-in-the-blanks to move on to the next round. I hate this show.
there is another reality show on another network that is basically the same thing, but the contesatant is playing against herself, gets to choose music categories each round, and only has to fill in four missing words with each song. I could win this game. it is funny.
both of these shows reveal my love for pop tunes and my ability to remember lyrics, artists, albums and all manner of pop music trivia spanning four decades. thing is...the talent I have for this is fruitless and pointless. It serves no purpose. If I cuold rememebr othre things as well as I remember pop song lyrics...
why is the human brain wired this way? Why cuoldn't I have been given the brains to accomplish something? I think I'm a fairly intellingent guy, but my most natural thought process involves remembering all the lyrics to the 10cc hit "The Things we do for love". Why is that? Not a mathematic, scientific, economic, psychiatric, philosophic brain for me. Nope. Just pop songs.
