Minstrel Cycle 

n. The recurring cycle of changes in the behavioral patterns of certain individuals that is repeated roughly once every 28 days; marked by a strange attraction to wear European Renaissance style clothing, play the lute or lyre, and the desire to serenade rich people.

PMS, or Preminstrel Syndrome relates to the physical and psychological symptoms, including reciting poetry, talking in Shakespearean language, strong attraction to flamboyant clothing and stringed instruments, and occasional outbursts of heralding, that occur from 2 to 7 days before the onset of minstrelization.
"Why is Dave standing on the balcony performing such a ridiculous musical number in that awful green tunic?"
"Oh, he's just on his minstrel cycle, nothing to worry about."

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
