OMG, I remember that song. Strangest pop song ever.
Stranger than Timothy? I think not.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Oy. Yeah, you win. That one I *don't* remember.
Although I do think "Run, Joey, Run" has a special place up there in strange 70s pop songs about death.

Ann, that's a ferret.
If we're talking about '70s death songs, someone has to mention "Seasons in the Sun." I think there's a law.

Done, and done. It's the benchmark, certainly.

Also, "Afternoon Delight". Well, it IS about a "little death".

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

Ever see the aftermath of a car accident and wonder how the hell it happened? This morning's was a front-end smashed SUV facing the correct way on the oncoming side of a divided road, a city bus stopped at its stop on my side of the road and then another SUV smashed headfirst into the bus, facing the wrong way, with no other visible smashes, except for the part where it was half inside the grill of the bus. Really can't figure out the physics of that.
Woke up very late. Forgot to make lunch last night. Don't wanna work.
