The brain worm swam
through the grey matter
as easily as a bird floating
on currents of wind.
Damn worm.
The dizzied victim wobbled,
knowing the source
but unable to do anything about it.
Sinking further into a mind scrambled coma,
he shared:
“It’s raining men.
Thank you VH1 One Hit Wonders of the 80’s.”
“It’s raining men.
Thank you VH1 One Hit Wonders of the 80’s.”

I am dedicating this 55 to my daughter, who watched VH1's One hit Wonders of the 80's last night and planted any number of awful brain worms in my head. Since I couldn't shake them, I had to share. So to all of you who have read this - You're welcome! Hope you enjoy this torture as much as I did. Perhaps my playlist will override It's raining men, but I doubt it.
Enjoy your weekend. - MM

Very cute. I had to look up the lyrics. (Hated to admit that!)
LOL.

love the lighthearted feel here. perfect for a friday 55!!!
Very nicely done, and I loved the pic, too.
I was in a coma for the 80's so there is no worm there for me to have to dig out.
This is great.

I really expected this to go somewhere it didn't! So glad for the ending, except I'll be singing "Hallelujah, it's raining men" all day now. Loved the picture too, by the way...I'm big on visuals.

Friday Flash 55 ~ The Boy on The Metro
It was early 70's rock at the gym this morning.
Reo Speedwagon, Meatloaf..you get the picture.
I have big time brain worms now.
You are such a clever monkey;)
You're getting really really good at this.
Music of the 80's sucked!...Mostly
But I liked your 55 Lots MM.
I keep thinking of the Earwig...Eeeewwwwww
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End!
You're raining men and I'm raining Victoria's Secrets. Come over for a look-see
That reminds me of a friend who really was in a coma because of a worm that reached her brain!
VH1 really takes you to a journey down the lane!
You are very mean with your 55 today. How am I going to get rid of it?
Flash 55 - Favors
I hope its not catching.
Great 55
Oh no! Not a tune worm! They can be deadly. :)
Yeah! Really funny One . Yes it is catchy oh gosh
Great 55
It had to be It's Raining Men! Damn brain worms. They never sing good songs.
OMG...I love The Weather Girls...What a funny 55. Great job. Have a wonderful weekend :)
I saw the end of that show on VH1 and I've had the worst ear worms ever since. It was really bad but interesting that they guy who wrote She Blinded Me With Science invented ringtones for cellphones.
Have a great weekend!
:)

Soo funny! Ever hear Gerri Haliwell's version? A tad bit better I think. Thanks for visiting!
HAHA!! I'd hate to have that song drilled in my head!
I never was a great fan of the 80's even when I was living in it...:D Have a DRY weekend!!
Brain worm...and raining men...what a fun to read.Enjoyed the 55. Have a great weekend.
Very funny! Though I'm not sure which is worse: the worm or the song!
Very witty 55, and the picture was perfect.
You and FDR.The divine worm. Does it take sort of not being "alone" for greatness?
too funny
eew that was gross, mine is up too
hahaha, i really wasn't sure where that was going at first. those earworms can be insidious though.
I love that song. But then again, I love the 80s
Agh! I call them "ear worms" but they do stay forever, don't they? And just last week when it rained the DJs played that song and it stuck in my head for 3 days!
Have a great week. See you next Friday!
Hey Monkey Man! Swing by http://buttsandashes.blogspot.com/2009/11/you-like-me-you-really-like-me.html and pick up your award. You earned it, brother!
Excellent 55! I think I have a brainworm in the guise of 'Hey Jude' since watching Children in Need on Friday night! :)
