Camarillo Brillo

[Chicago Jake]

Ever have a song stuck in your head for an entire week?

I'm stuck in the bucolic little town of Camarillo, CA, teaching a seminar, all week long. I've never heard of this town before, except for hearing the word in the title of a Frank Zappa song, "Camarillo Brillo," which I've always thought was hilarious.

In the song, Frankie pronounces the double-L as an L (that is, rhymes with "brillo"), but out here, they pronounce it as a Y (that is, rhymes with "Rio").

Either way, I can't get it out of my freakin' head! Good thing I love the song......Jake

(ignore the video, it's just the album cover. but enjoy the song)

I've visited Dallas four times, and in the last week or so before each trip I always get the music from the TV show 'Dallas' stuck in my head. It reaches fever pitch on the drive to the airport and on the plane... it drives me fucking insane!!

I know what you mean. When I was in Barcelona, the song "My Sharona" (by The Knack) kept running through my head, only with lyrics changed to "Bar Celona" of course.

Is that a real poncho, or is that a Sears poncho?
