Morning Discussion

Yesterday, someone--you know who you are--attempted to get the music from Super Mario Bros. 2 stuck in the heads of his or her Twitter followers. "Ever have one of those days where the Mario 2 music gets stuck in your head," they wrote.

It was evil, more so when they linked a video a bit later, even more so when they asked "how about now."

But then something weird happened. Later on, when I was trying to recall the Super Mario Bros. 2 theme, I found myself humming the Bubble Bobble theme instead. Which really makes me wonder--is the Bubble Bobble music more virulent than Mario 2?
