A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The song "Home on the Range" is essentially a limerick. Therefore, any limerick can be sung to the tune of "Home on the Range". (lemmy.world)

There was a young woman named Bright.
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She departed one day,
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night!

This is set to music at the end and beginning of the Alphaville album Afternoons in Utopia.

Enough. At first I was like, "Yeah, I love Alphaville!" However, upon further reflection, it occurred to me that I had confused Alphaville with two separate Austin-based bands, Alpha Rev and Storyville.

I'd did check out that album and sure...
