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.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.
'Shindig'

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Singing mothers: My mom sang this little ditty to me and my brother when we were kids (and now she's singing it to her granddaughter, who is just fascinated by it):
Down in the meadow in an itty bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam
Purses: I recently bought this Coach purse: [link] I loves it lots.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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."
That's what Kristen Hersh does. And she put an album like that, titled something like Murder, Mayhem and Goodnight. That's Emmett's favorite version of "All The Pretty Little Horses."

I can't even.
Actually, I think it might be "The One."
Yup, the 1992 album. After he had entered his decline phase (to steal a term from sabermetrics).

My mom sang that one too. Also, "I'm a little teapot" and "Good Morning, Starshine."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Plei, weren't you scheduled for something important today? Or did I miss something or lose track of days?
I don't even call to see when I go in until 2pm, and the work server is down. It's this or take a nap.

Gud, I was just going to mention that. I'm no fan, but if they are running out fo really henious things to report on Dubya about, find something better than "My Sharona doesn't fit in with his conservative morals."
