Today is International Hangover Day. Celebrate accordingly. Here’s your inspired by playlist:
I keep forgettin’ why I walked in this room
I keep forgettin’ where it was that I parked my car
I keep forgettin’ my Wifi password
I keep forgettin’ where my phone is, oh it’s in my hand
I keep forgettin’ what day of the week it is
I keep forgettin’ if turned the oven off or not
I keep forgettin’ if I fed those damn cats
I keep forgetin’ that I don’t have any cats to feed
I keep forgettin’ to schedule a haircut
I keep forgettin’ the last place I put my keys down
I keep forgettin’ my apartment doesn’t clean itself
I keep forgettin’ something else about some other thing

My favorite piece of trivia about Queen’s Brian May is that he has a PhD in astrophysics. Isn’t that something? An astrophysicist wrote “Fat Bottomed Girls.”
