Weirdest repeated/looped thought you've had recently or ever

[Bum Flaps]

On my road there's a car with the registration GUS3 W0X and the average human compulsion to make words out of car number plates had manifested in me imagining the Gusewox (pronounced "goozy-wocks") is some sort of fictional beast like the Gruffalo. Every single day when walking up the street to and from work when I see it I will, verbally, out loud, say to myself "Ah... the Gusewox" as if I am some sort of scholarly type talking about it to some local visitors to warn them of its presence. Every day for the last three years.

This is one of the big plus points of having kids - you can say all of that stuff out loud, and just pretend it's for their benefit not for your own internal satisfaction/compulsion. The great side effect is that they will tend to seek independence at an early age, as they desperately try to distance themselves from your incoherent mutterings.

Bad design, bad design
Ooh baby
It's making me crazy
Every time I look around (every time I look around)
Every time I look around
It's in my face

Apologies for passing on this curse.

For somewhere between 5 and 10 years I have had this phrase, in this voice

repeatedly come back to haunt me. I don't know where it came from, I must have made it up myself. It really has been with me for a fucking long time and I don't know if I'll ever be rid of it.

Analickin' for some reason gives me a gustatory hallucination of the taste of batteries for some reason (something I'm not going ponder on too long).  Apparently metallic tastes are the common gustatory hallucination.

I once couldn't get to sleep because I had the song Rockin' Robin repeatedly running through my head. It was incredibly annoying.

And once, as a part of a fever that developed after watching An Audience With Ronnie Corbett, I was haunted all night long by images of a dancing little Ron.

In the 90's I read a review of a recent Letterman Show that Iggy Pop had appeared on.  Letterman's first question was something to the effect of "What have you been doing lately?" to which the Ig replied "A-suckin' and a-lickin'" and an extremely worried Letterman immediately cuts to a commercial.

I've tried looking, I've never seen it, I can't even confirm it ever happened.  It's even possible some of the information has been changed in a Mandela-effect-brainwrongyness sort of way or that the reviewer was just having a laugh.

Wow that's spooky, though I've no doubt the phrase doesn't begin and end there but it does feel mystically connected to my own phenomenon. It's only served to baffle me further.

Occasional random shouting something that sounds Bringaaaa, bringhaa, brrrringha.

Always through gritted teeth as ifim having a very painful shit, which as I often say it alone in the car, I hope I'm not.

A mate was telling me last night about a young lad who rides the bus round his way with what he's guessing is some kind of compulsive repetitive form of tourettes or similar who keeps on shouting either CHARLIE CHAPLIN! or RICHARD COLLINS...IS A MAN WHO LOVES HIS RADIO! The latter, with the little pause, has been in my head all morning.

Some mornings when I do a big yellow piss I get 'Joni Mitchell considers rewrite' stuck in my head. Thanks cab!

I FOUND IT!
In my previous almost verbatim post mentioning this 12 years ago I said late 80's, this time I said 90's.  Well Iggy only appeared on Letterman 8 times and the first 7 of them were on youtube and here it is, 5:00 into this interview on 7th Nov 1990.

Ha, nice one for tracking it down. It's nowt like the way the hoary old fella who lives in my head says it though so it remains a mystery.

The Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota- whenever he crosses my consciousness I always get an excitable Geordie in my head: "Jotta! Jotta, man!"

Random music forms in my head a few minutes after I wake up (usually while in the bathroom having a piss)

This morning was Graceland by Paul Simon. Yesterday was One Kiss by Dua Lipa.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

When I was a kid and my alarm clock went off for me to get up and go to school, I did this sort of numbered chant in my head where I'd only get up on multiples of 5.

It went:

1 (dum dum dum dah dum dum dum)
2 (dum dum dum dah dum dum dum)
3 (dum dum dum dah dum dum dum)
4 (dum dum dum dah dum dum dum)
5 (get up, possibly)

I'd often make it to about 20 before I actually shifted. The real reason of course was because it was cold and I didn't want to get out of bed, but the ritual made it easier.
