Earworm time again! Today it’s Rodgers & Hammerstein – “June is Bustin’ Out All Over”, by way of an elementary school assembly I was in, back in sixth grade. It’s amazing how some of this stuff can stay in your brain forever. Is it just me or do we all have this happen? Is this an aging thing? In my head it’s the second soprano and alto parts I’m hearing, which makes it extra amusingly weird. Over the last couple of days, every time I have noticed a new flower opening in the yard or neighborhood, a few lines have burst into my brain, and sometimes burst forth out of me…. mostly (hopefully) in private. This is what’s happening here:

But it’s comin, by gum
We can feel it come

You can feel it in your heart
You can see it in the ground

You can see it in the trees

You can smell it in the breeze

Look around! Look around! Look around!

June is bustin’ out all over

All over the meadow and the hill

Buds’re bustin’ outa bushes

OK, I’ll stop now….but…..(elementary school kid’s voices rising to crescendo)…..

June, June, June
Just because it’s June, June, June!
