Miller Minutes
Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for more than a day? I have. Pretty much every day of my life.
One of my editors and I play this game where we share the song stuck in our head, or something we heard on the radio, and see who has the more “contagious“ song. You know you’ve won if you catch the other person singing it (or reciting the lyrics) throughout the day.
It’s fascinating how music fuels us. Everyone enjoys some genre of music or has a song that reminds them of childhood. Communities, sports teams and couples have a song they go back to.
