About a week ago, I had this song stuck in my head. All I knew was that the first two words of the song are “Hey hey,” and I had a general idea of the tune. I hummed it for Ryan, but given the fact that both of us are rather tone deaf, that idea didn’t work so well. I thought maybe the song was Dispatch, but not really because we couldn’t find anything. The most annoying part was that not only did I not know what the song’s name was, I didn’t know any lyrics beyond “hey hey” and some segment of a barely recognizable tune.
Well, I came up with another couple of words that I thought were part of the lyrics of the song, and somehow those extra couple of words jogged something in Ryan’s mind, and together we searched Dispatch (again), Barenaked Ladies, and finally found out the identity of the song!!!

Hey, hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better,
Just feel better about today …

If you want to be somebody else,
If you’re tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change you mind …
