Ear worms, brain weasels, and paleoanthropology
1) We got the original My Little Pony movie out of the library last week (30 year DVD edition!) which I had not previously seen. The Megatherium, predictably, loved it, and despite wanting to have a chat with Baby Lickety-Split about how doing your own thing is great if you don't spring it on other people onstage during a performance, I found it reasonably stomachable, and so we watched it twice and everyone in the family got the MLP theme song stuck in their heads. In my case, also the witch girls' songs ("Nothing can stop the Smooze!") & I find myself wanting to try applying Flutter Ponies to current politics.
2) Continuing the joys of late 90s CD technology, I also got her Megatheriosity a Disney Princes compendium CD from the library and was side-swiped in the brain by Belle's "Home" song. I think it's from the musical rather than the movie, but the friend who gave me Disney mix tapes in high school must have put that on one of them, because while I didn't remember it existed it immediately sprang at least 80% remembered from my back brain. (My other high school mix tape friend gave me Andrew Lloyd Webber songs, and I gave them my mother's mostly-forgotten Jean Redpath & Judy Collins records.)
3) TED talk from Genevieve von Petzinger, the 10-minute version of the cave art book I just finished reading, recommended: Why are these 32 Symbols found in ancient caves all over Europe?
