Buffy ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

How oddly mysterious! The parts where they deviate from the melody are clearly referencing something but who knows what that something could be?
Nice article, Jon!
Q. Maybe if they made you an offer you couldn't refuse?
A. Well, it's hard to refuse an offer you can't refuse.
Hee.
Thanks, P-C. As I said in Natter, I was very happy that quote made it in.

HIGHLARIOUS! Ack I still haven't seen the ad! But I'm working at home today so I can. YAY!
I like the MIT=geek cred quote.
Hey, what song is it again that the Lothars do on the Sandanista tribute album again, Jon?
The Call Up.
Jon, you star! Extremely cool.
So, I get back from the F2F, which involved two days of driving from Atlanta to Salem, MA. I unload, unwind, and decide to try to regain a sense of normalcy by going to Beer Works for a late dinner and a peruse of the Globe (among some other periodicals), when who should show up in the arts page...
Thanks for putting a mighty surreal capper to my F2F weekend Jon. I laughed so loud when I realized what I was reading that I got very odd looks.
