For the lolz.
As has happened before, I napped earlier, still went to bed at a reasonable hour, and woke up remembering one of my own long-forgotten songs. Muscle memory is a miraculous thing; if I can get myself to think about what the song sounded like, then just clear my head and play, I can usually remember most of an old song, if not the entire thing.
Then I found this post under the tag of "songwriting" and thought, "What the hell? I have no memory of that song." After a few minutes I have some tiny memory of writing it, but cannot remember at all what it sounded like. Which is disappointing, as it was the only song I ever wrote on piano and liked.
Of course, all this thinking of old songs has me remembering songs--but not how to play them. They're not clear enough in my head for me to even try. Someday I'll be smart enough to actually WRITE THINGS DOWN. Preferably in a system of notation that will still make sense to me five years later.
Bla-diddy-bla.

I did sit down and sound most of it out, though. I even remembered the made up words. "Debbie and the disco! Debbie and the disco! Debbie, the baddest girl in town, when she's gettin' down."
