Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ayup. The one from the X-Files soundtrack.

If I only had a brain...
My kids sing along with "The Internet is for Porn".
Come the revolution, my kids will be confiscated and sent to Remedial Bible Camp.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Too many "One"s.
Yeah, and I know them all, and they're battling it out for supreme earworm.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
huh - I was assuming "One" by U2. Too many "One"s.
This was me too.

Once when I was babysitting, the baby was inconsolable unless I was singing to her (or running warm water over her feet but that took a while to figure out.) I inherited my mother's singing ability plus I can rarely remember lyrics in their entirety.
So I sung the one thing I DID know all the lyrics and music to at that very moment: Mining for Gold

I think I may have to start singing "California, Uber Alles" to Emeline when I'm around her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think it's "One" from Chorus Line.
Except for Hec, who also sings little improvised songs to wake Emmett up and get him to sleep and eat his cereal and take a bath and do his math homework and, well, really everything except baseball, because that would probably cause him to perish of terminal humiliation.
Huh. I don't even think about this but I do it fairly often, I guess.
Wake up! You grumpy pile of grouse!
Or I'll throw you right on out of the house
I'll grab your toes and toss you out
You'll wake up with a startled shout
And hit the ground and bounce along
And still be hearing me sing this song
Get up! Get up! Get up!
Usually while poking his butt and bouncing him under the covers.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

That's the one Aimee Mann covered in "Magnolia" soundtrack. I'm not so fond of the movie, but I love love LOVE that soundtrack. I had no idea it was on the X-Files soundtrack. Come to think of it, it's a good song for Mulder.
I think the battle in my head for the ultimate earworm has been won by the Chorus Line song. Damn, I've been in a snarly mood all morning, and that song is just way too perky for me to maintain "CRUSH! KILL!" mode.
