A function of age XXIV

Earlier this week, I spent 10 minutes trying to recall a song's title and artist.  I remembered that the tune is by a singer who has her arms raised on one of her CD covers.  I recalled the general feel of the tune and what I thought was one lyric from it.  At first, I thought the song was from the early '00s but remembered later that it's actually from the '90s.

I'm glad I remembered the title and artist eventually.  I'm also glad that this happened at home and not in public.  Otherwise, I might have turned into the exasperating bookstore customer who tells a clerk, "I'm looking for a book.  I don't know the title or the author or even how it would be categorized.  I just remember that the cover is blue--well, not entirely blue.  On second thought, it might be mostly green with a hint of blue..."

I'm feeling a lot of sympathy for book and music store clerks, at the moment.
