Not usefully psychic

I had two psychic music weirdnesses today:

1) Occasionally I find myself with names stuck in my head, rather than songs. This morning, I found myself repeating the name of the hip hop group, "Bell Biv DeVoe," famous for such groundbreaking and profound hits as "Poison" and "Do Me!"

On my way to work, I learned that last night Jimmy Fallon tweeted that the band would be reunited on his show tonight. I thought, hmm... maybe in my sleepy stupor I heard this piece of news already, causing me to start saying this catchy group name.

I was just going to let this slide. But I have been known to have psychic instances before. And then....

2) Along with saying "Bell Biv DeVoe" over and over, intermixed with singing "Poison," I also strangely was singing "Ba de ya! Say do you remember!" Where did this come from? Am I so longing to dance in September, on this cold, dreary February day?

Nope, I'm just psychic. On the news this evening, I learned that students at the nearby Duke Ellington School of the Arts will be performing tomorrow with Earth, Wind, & Fire. whatevs.

Sometimes it's cool, and a little freaky, to have these random psychic occurrences. But they aren't very useful.
