Earworms

I meant to post this about 2 weeks ago, but got really busy...Sorry


I am one of those people who can't go a single day without some song jumping in my head. Someone recently told me this is called an earworm. I have no idea why!!! This is just what it is!!! Most times, that song makes me think of a movie. Today, it was a well loved song, at least for me. Indulge me for a moment....
You see, in my mom's house, we do not even mention Christmas movies until Thanksgiving is over. It became a tradition to watch the first Christmas movie of the year right after Thanksgiving dinner. For as long as I can remember, that movie has always been Scrooged with Bill Murray. Most of us can quote many, many, MANY parts of this movie! This is a tradition we have set aside for the past few years, for personal reasons. With everyone over for Thanksgiving, my uncle wanted to watch it this year. It was bittersweet, remembering Thanksgivings past.....But we all came through like champs. Anyways, the main song from the movie is "Put a Little Love in Your Heart". This is sung at the very end, and Bill Murray carries it over into the credits. If you have not seen this movie ever, or just in a long time, I suggest you watch it this holiday season!!

Put A Little Love In Your HeartAnnie Lennox & Al Green

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in you heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're lookin'
a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your
Love in your heart

I will have to watch it again, but, I remember the song, brings back some of mine at home. My favirote of all time is The Christmas Story, but every year I watch it on tv, and then I have the dvd Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation. That makes anyone laugh
