My Napsack On My Back

I had a hard time falling asleep last night as my brain suddenly started singing part of this song I haven't heard in, like ages (decades?) and have no idea why or where it came up with it but I googled it when I woke up and I had only remembered part of it and even then got the lyrics wrong (I was saying backpack instead of napsack and I'm totally ok with that and going to keep doing that).

But like that was annoying.

Me: tired and ready and wanting to fall asleep

My brain: VAL DER REEEEEE VAL DERAAAAAA VALDEREEE VALDER AH HA HA HA HA HA VALDEREEEEE VALDERAAA A BACKPACK ON MY BACK.  ( x 10 on repeat)

Me, this morning:  What on earth was that about?

I have not thought about camping or hiking or backpacks or nature (particularly?) or songs or singing or things my parents likely sang with us like what even was that about? 




By the way, this was a risk typing this out because now the song is back in my head and if it jumps back into my brain in bed tonight I'm going to be maaaaad.
