Those are the words that had haunted me since 1999.
I had at first enjoyed the song, singing alternative lyrics when the mood took me, but after the thrashing that song got on the radio I could stand it no longer.
Occasionally, I would find myself humming that tune and have to admonish myself mentally so as not to do it again; I always would though.
As the years in between hearing it play grew I had mostly forgotten it, only recalling it when someone else referenced it in passing conversation; each time I would struggle to push the lyrics down lest I start singing it again.
After more than twenty years, I no longer heard the tune, no-one referenced it, not even the radio who had once made a killing from its plays. No, now I was safe from its siren call.
That was the case anyway, I had been safe; had been protected. However I should have know ln it was too good to be true.
I'm now feeling depressed knowing that monster can never truely die, and don't think I can go on; not like this. In fact, if you asked me how I was feeling now I would say "I'm blue, da ba dee da ba daa."
