Imagine a song like Klymaxx's "I Miss You", Lillo Thomas' "Wanna Make Love (All Night Long)" or TWENTY ØNE PILØTS' "Heathens" being on your mind for five to ten minutes straight. None of those songs might be your favorites, but it wouldn't be the end of the world either way because they didn't stay on your mind for long. Now imagine the equivalent of hearing the same song stuck in your brain space for nearly nine hours straight. If you tend to be on the depressed side of the game or you're not wrapped too tight, then you might look a little more at that nearby bottle of Bacardi 151 to drown your sorrows and/or even a revolver to put yourself out of your misery. While the No. 1 song in this month's "Get Out of My Brain!" Countdown didn't quite put me in that mindset, I believe you all have a better idea of what I deal with from month to month. With seven brand new culprits and three repeat offenders ranging from residual Christmas music to a few shameless plugs, let's kick off 2017 with some insanity and I don't mean Shaun T...
So here are three things to note about this month's edition of the "'Get Out of My Brain!' Countdown of the Month". First and foremost, given the lack of girl power on the November edition of "In Heavy Rotation", I apologize to the ladies and don't want y'all to think I'm slighting y'all one bit; however, the songs which rule my brain space unfortunately control me and not the other way around. Trust me, y'all will be better represented later this month. Second, I have developed a more-exact-but-still-inexact science for tracking all of this: I simply note the amount of times a song comes to mind and about how long I'm thinking about it. It ain't perfect, but it's a much better system to make sure folks don't get cheated out of the opportunity to make this countdown like no other. (I doubt most of these folks care that much, but still.) Third, this edition will feature songs either belonging to "The Blame Game" in which I blame specific people and/or things for my mental repetitiveness, "NPT HitstoryMakers" for artists and songs who and which boldly go where no others have gone before or stand on their own two category-less feet. Since you have been prepared and briefed probably more than you wanted to be, let's get to the madness...
