During my junior college days a friend said it was always the last song you heard before getting out of your car. Others theorize it is because radio stations are paid to play the same four songs a billion times in order to aid marketing campaigns. There actually seemed to be a bit of truth to this during the late 80s when every \u201chit\u201d song also seemed to be featured in a beer commercial.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Those theories would tend to explain the songs we physically cannot hide from unless we use some Internet radio site and take the time to pick each and every tune on the playlist paying money so they don\u2019t \u201chelp us out\u201d by adding \u201csuggested\u201d (i.e. paid to push) tunes. It does not, however, account for those deep track which never got air play. It also doesn\u2019t account for really ancient songs no station has played in years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Sometimes it is the legend behind the song which makes it stick with us. Just this morning I pulled out the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/puzzle-dada\/107977?ean=0077771314124\">Puzzle<\/a>\u201d CD from Dada. It\u2019s from an era when Chicagoland had Q101 \u201cthe New Rock Alternative.\u201d That was a golden era of completely new sounds. The song from that time which was running through my head was \u201cDizz Knee Land.\u201d Yes, no matter how old you are when that song or \u201cDim\u201d comes on you have the urge to crank the volume to damage-the-speakers level. If you are ever in one of those the-world-set-out-to-screw-you-and-was-successful moods cranking \u201cDim\u201d beyond the point of sanity can really make you feel better.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Over the years a legend has developed around \u201cDizz Knee Land.\u201d It might even be true. The timing is certainly correct. Even if it is not true I choose to believe it, therefore, will share it with you.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Many decades ago there was an American Olympic Gymnast who had just won her event. Some television crew stuff a camera and microphone in her face and asked the question \u201cYou just won a medal at the Olympics, what are you going to do now?\u201d Bright eyed and full of adrenalin rush she shouted over the crowd \u201cI\u2019m going to Disneyland!\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Back there and back then the American Olympic committee took the \u201camateur\u201d thing to extremes. Sadly some marketing group picked up on the clip and started using it. There was talk this early teen girl would be stripped of her medal simply because her parents promised to take her to Disneyland after the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In true Rock &amp; Roll rebellion fashion Dada created the song \u201cDizz Knee Land.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">I just ran away from home<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<br \/>\nI just crashed my car again<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<br \/>\nI just robbed a grocery store<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<br \/>\nI just flipped off President George<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to dizz knee land (2)<br \/>\nI just tossed a fifth of gin<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<br \/>\nI just got cuffed again<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to dizz knee land yeah<br \/>\nShot my gun into the night<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<br \/>\nI just saw a good man die<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<br \/>\nCome on&#8230;I&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<br \/>\nKicked my *** out of school<br \/>\nRolled me out into the streets<br \/>\nHitched a ride on a monkey&#8217;s back<br \/>\nHeaded west into the black<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to dizz knee land<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">Thus is the legend. Google searching could not bring up the story of the gymnast. I suspect the Olympic committee and Disney did everything they could to purge that story from the Internet. But it crops up from time to time.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">One has to wonder if even Michael Phelps knows this story. Why? Because of <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.chicagotribune.com\/keyword\/carly-patterson\">this quote<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">&#8220;Since I was a kid, I&#8217;ve dreamed of winning the gold medal and shouting, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to Disney World!&#8217; &#8220;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have songs which will pop into our head for seemingly no reason.
