The problem with listening to a whole new sect of music is that I often get songs stuck in my head.
No let me rephrase that, I get the music and the odd lyric stuck in my head. This means all through my walk, or whatever other interesting chore I'm doing, I end up singing bits of the song over and over and over. And of course, since I don't know the lyrics, I end up putting in my own. (Which 10/10 times prove to be a lot more interesting - song writers are not the most creative turtles in the sea...)
This is most noticeable with my Japanese music or any music that is in a language I don't know, but feel I can sing along with if I just try hard enough! The results are highly entertaining though I can never share the joke with folk because no one listens to what I do.
Barbarians.
(It's like when I watch anime and think of something awfully clever and then realize I can't tell anyone cause no one else would get it! A shared quip has 30x the power of one that only amuses yourself, trust me, I know these things.)
Lately I've been listening to a lot of German music. Oh my my, the opportunities to mis-interpret what they say are boundless! AND I can mis-sing it in English or even Afrikaans! The tri-lingual puns keep me warm and fluffy at night. (Usually before forgetting them the next morning and feeling like the world missed out...)
Do you ever do that?
