No Apparent Reason

For no apparent reason — and in spite of the fact that I actually have the Indigo Girls singing, right now — still, I have this song running through my head. The “Na-na Na-na” song. Apparently, it was sung by a group (duo?) called Mouth and MacNeal.

Here is a snippet (I should include a link to the site that had a WAV version of it, God KNOWS I do adore my “Dancing in the Moonlight” WAV!):

How do you do?
Mm mm
I thought
Wa-na na-na na-na
Just me and you
And then we can
Na-na na-na
Just like before
And you will say
Na-na na-na
Please give me more
And you will think
Na-na na-na
Hey, that’s what I’m living for!

Nearly got out of Target with only some monthly supplies and a bottle of 8-hour Tylenol, but then, after going to my car and listening to most of “The World Can Wait” — including this line: “I want to feel and then some / I have five senses / I need thousands more at least / every day a page of paper / every night a photograph / a moveable feast” — I suddenly found myself thinking about City of Angels and a scene in the library in which they are talking about the book by Hemingway, A Moveable Feast, and then another scene where Seth tells Maggie, “You felt me. You can feel me,” and then I was remembering MY list of Movies That Count, and of course this one is on it yet I do not own my own copy, so I decided to run in and get it, along with another “keeper” according to The Girl Whose Opinions on Movies (and Music) I Trust Most, Cold Mountain. And I made myself a deal that I would only get the latter movie tonight if the former movie were there, also, but it was not.

Then, as I was turning to leave the entertainment section, I saw the newest k.d. lang CD, hymns of the 49th parallel, and decided I must have it. And now I do.
