The Devil Has All The Best Tunes

So, I was standing on the T, drowsily free-associating on the subject of titles, as I have a story which I need to title. The phrase "triumph of the will" drifts into my head, trailing vague echoes. I think, "that's kind of a cool title, but I think it's taken. Yeah, it's the title of something, but I can't remembber what. Something important and mythic. It is a good title. I know I've heard it someplace..." Then I was distracted by an ad for beer or something, and noodled off again.

Two stops later, like a splash of cold water, I remembered just what "Triumph of the Will" is the title of. And then I had the urgent desire to kick myself in the head.

*facepalm*

Oh, dear. I should not be giggling quite as hard as I am, should I?
