I woke up and serenaded Coral with the White Stripes “I Just Don’t Know What To Do with Myself.” She smiled briefly, but then rolled over and went back to sleep. I’ll need to work on my singing for sure.
I’ve had the song blaring in my head for days. When there is silence in the environment, this song blares in my head like there is a speaker duct-taped to my side. I wonder where it came from, but I think it just welled up out of nowhere because I missed Coral.
So weird, all moments of the day, the song rattles my head.
I am happy its such a great song.
The White Stripes – “I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself.”
Go with yourself.
Adorable.
This same thing happened with my head and Mouthful of Diamonds by Phantogram. I didn’t serenade anybody with it as it’s a bit of a weird song, but it was relentless through two nights of insomnia and two days. I named my blog for it and that was that.
“I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself” dates back to the 1960s and was originally written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David (who wrote literally dozens of pop classics during the late 50s, 60s and 70s. (In fcat ol’ Burt is still writing and recording, last thing I heard).
I first heard the song by Dusty Springfield but it was also a hit for Dionne Warwick back in the day.
The arrangement of the song on your blog is definitely Jack White’s twisted creation, though.
