Not titling this with song lyrics; you're welcome.

According to my ~highly scientific~ poll in my last post, approx. 30-40% of all Dreamwidth users have had songs from Les Miserables stuck in their heads ever since the movie came out.

I don't suppose those of you who are getting more active in the fandom would consider, as a kindness, "earworm warnings" for any quotes from the lyrics (including song titles)?

//just kidding

//mostly

//although it would be nice to be able to go more than 24 hours without hearing the people sing in the background of all I do. I've kind of forgotten what that's like.

Although I have gotten quite a lot of cleaning done while unable to concentrate on anything but listening to the soundtrack on repeat, so there's that.

(I tried putting on "Once More With Feeling" instead today; it only took about half an hour before One More Day was back.

I haven't tried Cabaret yet; that's the nuclear option.)

I mostly get "Can You Hear the People Sing" and "Master of the House." Although now I get "I Dreamed a Dream" a lot, thanks for that, Anne Hathaway.

You could try getting some new music! I got a two-disc Vivaldi set and a Pablo Sarasate disc for Xmas, but I needed something with lyrics. Spent an hour or so cruising Billboard for songs I'd heard on the radio in the car, and wound up with three new (to me) artists and a very catchy song by Janelle Monae.

Totally new music is one thing I haven't tried yet, hmm! Although I suspect les mis would be back again eventually. (I can get rid of them for a few hours at a stretch, but then something brings one back again...)

When I was in high school I used to always get the two lines "Everybody raise a glass! Raise it up the Master's ass!" stuck in my head and get terrified that a teacher would catch me singing it to myself in the halls.

Oh, yeah - I remember that one!
