I got a bad one.....the last couple of days I've been stuck with that stupid, childish closing credits song from the movie "The Longest Day." Did you know that it was written by Paul Anka?
Many men came here as soldiers
Many men will pass this way
Many men will count the hours
As they live the longest day
Many men are tired and weary
Many men are here to stay
Many men won't see the sunset
When it ends the longest day
The longest day
the longest day
This will be the longest day
Filled with hopes and filled with fears
Filled with blood and sweat and tears
Many men the mighty thousands
Many men to victory
Marching on right into battle
In the longest day in history
The tune is this innocuous trip up and down the scales which far from providing a feel of battlefield determination, sound smore like the music you hear while riding the merry go round.
It's horrible....it won't stop, I've started mangling the lyrics on purpose, and it still won't stop. In my head it's now:
Many men
Are singing this song
As they march
Into their graves
Many men
Went nuts from this song
The one they call
The Longest Day
The longest day
the longest day
Other days
Are shorter days
That makes this
The longest day
And this song
won't go away
