It’s March! A time for madness. March Madness, if you’re into the whole basketball sports thingy. I was thinking about the March Hare originally. But there really aren’t a lot of songs I know about rabbits. Or hair.

So we’re playing with madness this month. Actually, I play with madness every month. Just not in the same way that Spo does. But this month I/we (being the Blobby) am/are showcasing some of the songs that–to me–are about madness.

But I’ll start the month off with something a little… lighthearted. Well, as lighthearted as one can get when talking about dealing with anxiety. At least that’s always been my take on the song.

I give you Green Day’s “Basket Case”.

Sadly, you’ll have to go watch it on YouTube directly, apparently… which is madness!

Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life’s a bore
So quit my whining cause it’s bringing her down

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
A ya-ya-ya

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?
