>>endomusia — Silent recall of a melody; endomusia often appears as a type of obsessive thought.

Thanks, Mike-O. I get that every so often; fortunately it never lasts long.

Also--want to clarify that I wasn't jumping on you for using the word stupid--I use it myself to mean exactly that sort of thing (leaving young children alone so the adults can go have a good time). It just struck a chord in me in that context due to my work experiences.
