It's complex and ridiculous, I know. But that's what it is.
Every night for the past week and a half, I've sat at my computer and designed stuff for a huge CD marketing project. I work until 3 AM and then I go to bed. But without fail I've found I've had to listen to Pippin, a musical by Stephen Schwartz about the son of Charlemagne, while doing so. I sit in the chair and open Photoshop and the dinnerbell rings in my brain and out comes iTunes and the Pippin playlist. My brain salivates merrily as they dish out the "Think about the sun, Pip-PIIIN..." and it's killing me slowly I think.
You see, like Schwartz's newest musical "Wicked", I listen to it not just once in a sitting, but twice all the way through and then on shuffle and then again when a song haunts me after the playlist has ended. I swear that man puts crack in his musicals. They aren't even that amazing as far as musicals go---simple little morality plays, the lot of them, but you hear one of his soundtracks once and you can't escape it. I wake up every morning with a different song stuck in my head. Today it was Take It Easy. Yesterday it was the Finale song. The past couple days it was Glory. Before that it was Spread a Little Sunshine. It's like some sort of cruel musical torture. Blast you, Ben Vereen. If I had known how insanely addictive you'd become when I watched Zoobilee Zoo, maybe I would have watched a bit more Nickelodeon.
Although I did listen to Into the Woods quite a bit. That's right. I had forgotten about that. But it's too complex for doing something that requires a lot of attention. But it makes for a nice change, I admit. I still can't get over how great Friends did on that one.
Take it EEEEzee suuuh-neee...
GET OUT OF MY HEAD, STEPHEN SCHWARTZ! (But I'd be okay if you'd embed into Xanga properly...oh well.)
