Hello fellow users (I'm sorry if my typing iss a bit off in places, I'm still shaking). Usually I do the hoovering on Sundays but I forgot an dhad to do it this morning. As iwas hoovering the stairs I suddenly heard this rumbling noise and it was louder than thee hoover. I switched it off and the noise continued for ten secodns, like some dkind of rumbling or something. Then all of a sudden I started singing and I didn't want to but I couldn't stop. In the ten minutes I was singing I tried drinking water to stop it but all I did was choke; I put my face under water and it carried on; I tried holding my jaws together but I physically couldn't and the words to this 'song' were:

'Honey Suckle and Milton'

Which I sang over and over again. The phone rang and I answered it but all I could do was sing this song, I then grabbed my electric guitar tuner and the notes were A,B,E (I can't sing in tune but this was perfect). I could hardly swallow and it was everything but enjoyable and comfortable. The thing was I was aware that I was singing but I was trying to stop it. I saw my face in the mirror and mouth was racing away but my facial expression was of utter confusion and terror.

What can people suggest for this? I was thinking of maybe going to the doctor or something. Any advice? Advice urgent! Please!

Are you stressed at all?, my first thought was that you heard this rumble and subconciously you started singing to yourself for reassurance. Nearly everyone does it whenever there stressed or nervous, sing a tune or whistle. I suspect your brain however went into meltdown and didnt know when to stop this reaction, wouldnt do any harm seeing a Doctor though, and a CAT scan would be recommended by myself as experienced Neuroscientists know what to look for if there was anything wrong.

OK, you felt the huge earthquakes in the Pacific.

This is why you sang and felt that.

ramadwarf, you have an interesting life my friend. could be tourettes i suppose, could be a new method of attack by the squirrels.

was the tune in 4/4 or 3/4?

I'm facinated by the fact that you have an electric guitar tuner (and therefore probably a guitar too) and you say you normally can't sing a note. If you were a casual 'strummer' then you would have no need for a guitar tuner because it wouldn't matter too much if it was precisely in tune or not. Unless you're Burt Weedon, guitars and singing normally go together.

Go and see a Doctor, and suggest they consider ADHD as a starting point.

this will probably sound stupid, and 99.9 percent not true. but it sounds like remote mind crontol. not using his own mind but. somesort of raidio transmitter thats in excat tune with your brain frequencys. overpowering them.

people who are working on mainstream technology like this will tell you that in the future they will be able to do this.

Pressure on the brain or a brain bleed can make you see, hear, and do strange things. It can play with your emotions as well. Go to the doctor. Get a brain scan.

Ah Ramadwarf, my friend. I was afraid those squirrels were evil......
could be they have possessed you, and are so proud of their new voice they can't let go.

On a serious note, only thing I can think of is get an agent and a studio.

Could lead to a contract.

Well this made me think of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode "Once More With Feeling" have you been watching this?? In the episode everyone breaks out in song and starts singing and none of them were able to stop it, just like you are unable to.....Ok now that I have that out of the way..

You might want to see a doctor. I really dont know what would make you break out in song.

Oh, I forgot. Could you please leave the lyrics for "Honeysuckle and Milton". I am not familiar with it.

The words might assist in the analysis of things to come.

Oh, is it just the singing, or are you dancing also?
If so, please post a video.

URGENT URGENT !!!!! i can't stop physically smiling !!! oh my god !!! what the hell is happening to meeeeeee !!!

Urgent ?? really ?? can't stop singing ??? ..... singing ?? aha, strange. I'm just wondering, ... but you never gave your own theory, what do you think it was ??? be honest.

Hmm, sounds like the premise of a new House episode.

Or a previous one in Scrubs

plus I spent 7 hours tidying up Saturday and no one noticed...

You spent 7 hours tidying Saturday, but you usual vacuum on Sunday, but you forgot and did it Monday????


You need to get your story straight my friend.
