"I hear you singing in the wires -- I can hear you through the whine"

Sometimes you have tunes in your head for no reason, and sometimes they're omens.
The Wichita Lineman popped into my head in the middle of a meeting, and I was trying to remember "I hear in the wires".
Perhaps there's a D-notice on old 60's country songs, as searching the web drew a blank, so I forgot all about it -- until I was back home and Jane 'phoned to let me know she's back in the country. I happened to mention the tune, she burst in to song and we ended up duetting. *And* she knew that Glen Cambell sang it, and armed with that, we found the lyrics, and sang the whole thing properly. Followed by Daydream Believer.
After she'd hung up, I suddenly realised *why* a song about wires popped into my head ...

I had "Keep the Customer Satisfied" by Simon&Garfunkel in my head in a seminar yesterday. I was singing along in my head (as you do) and was asked a question, and all that popped out was "two steps away from the county line!"
It was quite embarrassing. Simon&Garfunkel - what swines. How dare they have written such catchy, memorable tunes and embarrass me in History seminars...

And the Corpus Christi winds Keep blowing while I'm gone It haunts my memories And makes me want to go back
It's your fault. Witchitaw Lineman always reminds me of that one, too.
