The next thing you know, you're either singing along, or staring off into space, drooling like you just took a horse tranquilizer to the brain.

Then, of course, they come back on the phone and you have to snap out of it and somehow function in a coherant fashion.

Or are you like me and get caught mid song? That's happened to me more than once.
