random earworm

Today - ever since the middle of last night - I can't get the music from "Frogger" out of my head. I think it's the original Atari version I'm remembering, though it might have been on my commodore 64.

doo doo doop doop, doo doo doop doop, dum de dum de dum,
dum de dum de dum de DUM de, dum de dum de dum!

Aiiigh!

Um, yeah... thanks for spreading the earworm! I had to click on the link, didn't I?

AHHGGG I know what you mean!

Hey, I met the guy who invented Pong the other day when I was out on a houseboat. No SHIT! I feel so star struck. Only I can't remember his effing name. Too many bloody marys.

Wouldn't that be weird, to be so many years later and introduce yourself to people like, "Hi... I'm The Guy Who Invented Pong." I mean, I doubt he really does that, whoever he is... probably instead a little swarm of people follows behind him and whispers it in your ear a few minutes after you are introduced. Right?

I'm glad that the manager of that side doesn't allow direct linking of MIDI files. Can you imagine the horror if thousands of sites embedded that sound file?

I don't know if you want to know about this or not, but there is an arcade game emulator, called MAME, that runs on a number of platforms including Macintosh, Windows, and Linux. If you know where to look you can find files of the ROMs of hundreds upon hundreds of classic arcade games, including Frogger. (If you don't know where to look, I can tell you.)
