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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is very neat.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

So how about "Push Push (in The Bush)" or "Push It"? Playground roughhousing?

Of course! Note: I have no idea what I'm talking about, having never heard either of these songs. I think the last time I heard "Brand New Key", I was maybe 12.

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

"Kinky Reggae" is your official prom theme.

I think you've misplaced my high school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Which one?

I dunno. I kind of half have it in my head, something about tomorrow being brighter for you and for me? And get up get up get up?

I'm under some delusion it would have been "I Want Your Sex." It's a happy place, up here in my head.

Yeah, that sounds likely.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"Plucked his eyebrows then he was a she."

I think that was "Plucked his eyebrows on the way/Shaved his legs and then he was a she". Now I can't remember who thought s/he was James Dean for a day.

It really is amazing what they'll play on the radio.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Yeah, that sounds likely.

More likely than "Sexy Motherfucker" I'm sure.

"Don't you hear the music pumping hard like I wish you would? Now push it. Push it good."

Maybe "Come On Eileen"?

Same character, I think. "Holly came from Miami, F. L. A./Thought s/he (?) was James Dean for a day/Plucked etc...." is how it goes, I'm pretty sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Don't you hear the music pumping hard like I wish you would? Now push it. Push it good."

I was joking with a friend once that that song is about a woman who's about to give birth, except her husband got the car stuck in a ditch - he has to push it out so she can go deliver her baby baby ooh baby baby....
