ysobelAhahaha um. Despite not having seen Fiddler on the Roof in ages, I randomly got one line of one song going through my head persistently. But it took me forever to place it. I had notes and rhythm and *wrong fucking words*.
I don't know why Fiddler occurred to me tonight as a possibility, nor why I was able to grab the right song on the first try. It's from Tevye's "dream" sequence, the bit where dead relatives are congratulating him on his daughter's wedding to someone other than the guy she's pledged to, and the line in question is Tevye's "you must have heard wrong, Grandma, there's no tailor" -- except all I could think for several days was "da da da daaa daaa, daaaa daaa, he's no oyster".
...kind of not the same.
Brains are weird.
