Persistent earworm alert XXXVIII

Sometimes, the most unlikely item triggers the memory of a song.  While grocery shopping last week, I saw a bag of chewy, tropical mix candy.  The word "tropical" made me think of the way travel ads often promote an island as a tropical getaway or a tropical paradise.  That, in turn, reminded me of Taj Mahal's song, "Paradise," which has been on my mind since then.  Mahal sings about "going to the tropics when the weather is cold and bad."  He also wants to preserve that getaway feeling by bottling it and taking it home.  The tune's chorus, "I'm talkin' 'bout paradise, paradise...," will likely stay in my mind for at least a few more weeks--thanks to a stroll through the candy aisle.
