Oooh! And that's a creepy, old-timey "babies die a lot when medicine sucks" song, isn't it? I know there's a lot of death in that song, even though it's a VERY pretty tune.
....and now I'm GLAD nobody sang in my house in the morning!
Note to self: religion freaky.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Plei, weren't you scheduled for something important today? Or did I miss something or lose track of days?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Aimee Mann "One" is a cover, btw. Originally by Three Dog Night, Written by Nilsson.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, I'm having wicked flashbacks to summer camp, where we sang songs at Morning Flagpole and then again at breakfast. I'm sure at one point I knew the words to all of them, since I was a counselor for a couple of years and led more singalongs than I could possibly count...
Also earwormed with "One is the loneliest number"--wasn't that originally by Harry Nilsson? edit: x-post, of course!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I was just wondering the same thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm good, as long as it's not "Rock-a-bye baby." The baby FALLS OUT OF THE TREE. That's not right.

Also, I plan on singing my children murder ballads during their formative years. "Poor Ellen Smith, how was she found?/ Shot through the heart, lying full on the ground."

My co-worker has been playing streaming BBC radio, and today's selection was a segment of nothing but showtunes. I disgraced myself by knowing -- and singing -- all the words to "Almost Like Being in Love" from Brigadoon.
But, dude -- we did it in high school -- those lyrics are burned on my brain!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Neither of my parents sang very much, due to sever lack of ability. There was lots of music in the house, though. Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, Clancy Bros., Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, etc.
