Persistent earworm alert LI
The Clash's "Rock The Casbah" contained one of late 1982's more memorable driving melodies. I don't hear it on the radio very often these days, but I've been thinking about it today. Because I'm under the weather and had just purchased medicine when it came to mind, my recurring hope of what the medication will accomplish, i.e. "Thin the mucus, thin the mucus," is running through my mind to the tune of "Rock The Casbah." I mean no disrespect to the song; bizarrely, however, my memory of the song and my desire to stop irritating sinus drainage intersected at the same moment.
