I thought it was a come-on and was DEEPLY offended in the way only a teenager can be.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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
Remember the band Breathe in the 80s? I believe their entire oeuvre was grounded in sap.

Yes.
And yes.

Impromptu filk by my husband the other day:
Squirrels, in large numbers: scatter as we drive by.
Me: That's like, a *flock* of squirrels.
mr. flea: And they ay-ay-ate, they ate a lot of nu-u-uts.

And then they ran away!

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

Even more than Air Supply?

Last night, I sang this (to the theme from the Batman TV show) to my cat as I returned from the store:
Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Cat food!

Me and a friend, in uni, just before intro to sociology:
Friend: What are you listening to?
Me: Mark Lanegan.
Friend (confused look): Marx and Engels?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Once upon a time in pop music, there was always somebody (one or more) whose oeuvre was grounded in sap. (See my comments above on Bobby Vinton and Connie Francis. Most of Barry Manilow's pop heyday also qualifies.)
That era has ended. I'm not sure when, but I think it happened during the later '90s.

For anyone who has Sirius/XM satellite radio, a new station premiered in the last couple of days, Cinemagic, playing, as you might guess, all film scores. On the Sirius receivers it's channel 81-- not sure what it is on XM.
It's really nice.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I thought it was a come-on and was DEEPLY offended in the way only a teenager can be.
The song that I always thought should offend the recipient (ok, aside from "Age Of Consent" and "She's Having My Baby") was Ronan Keating's "When You Say Nothing At All". Yeah, that's quality high-sucrose sap in the music, but it doesn't disguise the fact that he's basically telling his love interest to shut the hell up already.
