When your brain doesn’t just get stuck on a song.

But gets stuck on ONE LINE of a song.

For TWELVE HOURS.

“Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain”

OVER

and

OVER

and

OVER

Interspersed occasionally with a line from a completely different song from the same play that has a similar melody:

“When I get free you won’t see me”

So basically my entire head right now is:

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Monsieur, le maire, you’ll wear a different chain

When I get free you won’t see me

Couldn’t I just get an entire song instead of this complete nonsense repetitiveness?  I’ve been at this for 12 hours now, at least.  And I think there were vague melodies from Les Mis going through it before that, but they were far less annoying because it was just melodies and the occasional few words would pop out and then back to melodies.

Why my brain is stuck on Les Mis is anyone’s guess.

ETA:  Okay it turns out I was right initially and that people shouldn’t have been spelling maire as mayor in English on the lyrics sites.  I was thrown off because for some reason I learned an archaic Belgian spelling and pronunciation of the word!?!  (mayeur/maïeur)
