During the day, which was as nice as they come with rain and a bit chilly, I’ve had this tune stuck in my head. It happens sometimes and the last time was fairly recent, so I thought it would take a while before it happened again. I guess this proves me wrong. But most often it’s because I’ve heard the song in question recently, and now, this is not the case.

This time I wasn’t even graced with hearing and quietly singing along to the full song, just the background chant of Bad Religions “American Jesus”. Going over and over inside the head. The weird part is that that part is very religious when taken from it’s context — here I had no context what so ever — and I am as much theologically handicapped as person can get. Apart from my heretic worship of my obsessions, I have no belief. I am interested in theology though, but I just can’t believe it. So I am handicapped.

(I’m an apathist. I don’t care if there is or isn’t a God/Gods/A man in sombrero and slippers. Sorry.)

But back to the song. I managed to expel it by looping Grand Theft Audios “Death To The Infidels” and then just let it beat the chant out piece by piece, note by note, harmony by harmony. It worked like a charm and I’m once again fully capable to function — more or less, probably more less than usual though — in society.
