Today's dear brain, what the hell? moment: realising that the verses of Tom Lehrer's Alma can be sung to the tune of Take This Waltz by Leonard Cohen. (Not the chorus, just the verses. But still. 3/4 time, you're a slut.)

It gets worse: I've had the Cohen song stuck in my head for the last day or so, but with the words "fascist regime" inserted at metrically appropriate points (usually in the place of "dead magazine"). The Sex Pistols and Leonard Cohen do not need to be mashed up. No, they really don't. I insist.

not on the same scale, but...

The other day my brain decided that a mash up of the chorus of "Bust a Move" with the words "Doctor Who" substituted for "bust a move" was a really good idea. argghgghhhhhhh (where the heck in my subconscious it dredged that song up from in the first place is an open question)

Oh dear. And the same form of awfulness could also be done to the Time Lords' "Doctorin' the Tardis", only in reverse....

I'm not sure if I love you or hate you, but I suddenly feel very strongly about you indeed.
