Imagine the theme from Twilight Zone in your head, or hum it out loud

You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's a signpost up ahead: your next stop: the Twilight Zone!

It's Thanksgiving weekend---two of the pre-set radio stations in your car have gone over to their all-Christmas music format for the holidays. You like Christmas songs; but after a while you begin to notice---no matter what time of day you turn on those stations, there he is, Dan Fogelberg singing 'Auld Lang Syne.'

At first you just think it's a coincidence, then after the 10th time you begin to wonder. You're being stalked by a song. If this continues, by Christmas you're actually going to be insane and on a plane flying to Colorado to track him down. You haven't decided what you're going to do when you catch up with him, but it won't be jolly, and it will make him wish he had never recorded that song.

That may take away part of your insanity; but you'll always be a little off, because unfortunately, Karen Carpenter is already dead and you won't be able to track her down as well.
