Oh wow.

I just noticed I'm humming the music to the bobsledding bit of the "1994 Winter Olympics" Sega Genesis game.

That's random.

Well, video game music is rather catchy.

...Or you're just a lunatic *grins*

Well, that is true. Both, I mean.

I totally have no idea why I was humming it. I haven't played it in at least a few months. V. catchy, however. And I used to play that part of the game a lot, because I was decent at it.

I tend to do that a lot. I have a v. big music memory. I woke up one morning a year or two ago singing this song that I learned and then played twice (within a week of each other) about 3 years before. Perfectly. The entire thing. And I'd never even seen it on paper (which is prolly why this one stuck in my head so much), these Scottish fiddlers came to our school and did a workshop with the couple of us who wanted to stay and play with them, and they sang it to us and made us sing it back, and then gave us one minute to figure it out on our instruments, and then we all played it. This was crazy cool, because we were in 7th and 8th grade and had really only played music from paper before then (except for me, because I didn't actually learn to read music until partway through my 3rd year of playing, so I had a decent ear).

Anyway. I loved that. It really, idk, made me think about how good I actually was, I guess, to have remembered that after learning it for only a few days.

And that's my story.
