Bud Grossmann’s Words of the Week for the Week of May 3, 2015 Previously unpublished family history. © 2015 by Bud Grossmann. All Rights Reserved.   Ear (2014) © 2014 by Bud Grossmann A DISTURBING SOUND Saturday night, late. Including the three-word title, above, I have put two hundred thirty-eight words on this page. I feel I should tell you, if you read to the end, you may, as a result, hear in your head far more words than I have typed, and you quite likely will not be pleased. Still with me? You can bail out now if you want. If you continue to read, you may regret it. Little over a week ago, in the course of maybe five days, Carol and I watched three movies: The Buddy Holly Story, Peggy Sue Got Married, and The Real Buddy Holly Story. Ever since, I’ve had Buddy Holly songs stuck in my head. Not continuously, but often. Mostly “That’ll Be the Day,” “Oh Boy,” and “Everyday.” Today, over and over: Ev’RY day! Something something SOMEthing Bump bump bump BUMP, bump bump bump bump bump BUMP ... Yes, over and over, that beat comes and goes. And I can’t even remember the words; I just hear the distant and repetitive sound of those two lines. So, I am wondering, if you care to tell me, does my mentioning this bring to your mind a time when some lyric or jingle was stuck in your head? Are you willing to tell me what it was? Is it stuck there now? What more are you willing to say? That’s all. Just wondering. Goodnight. Sweet dreams. ♦         ARCHIVES         Click for a list of other Words of the Week I would welcome your thoughts on this page (or any of my others).  Write to me at the following address.  Please be sure to spell Grossmann with two n’s and mention what page you are writing about.
