--- Ok, the new and improved A Small Victory is
up and running. While I will mourn the loss of Michele's political
commentary, I still like the fact she's turned it into a pop culture
blog. Last night she asked for homework.
More than happy to oblige, I posted this:
Shiny, happy songs that make you want to stick a fork in your
eardrum, eh?
Ok.
1. Anything from "Mary Poppins," particularly that damn spoonful of
sugar song
2. "My Heart Will Go On," Celine "I make myself vomit regularly and not
because I'm bulimic" Dion
3. "I Just Called To Say I Love You," Stevie Wonder. Stevie, what the
hell happened to you?
4. Anything by Elton John after he came out of the closet. Particularly
that "Candle in the Wind," piece o' crap.
5. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Cyndi Lauper. 6. For the obligatory
"songs that mention jumping suck" category, we have "Jump," by Van
Halen and "Jump!" by The Pointer Sisters
7. Anything by Michael Jackson. EVER. And that includes the Jackson
Five, but specifically "The Man in the Mirror."
I think that's enough for now.
Happy to have vented, I shut down and went out to the living room to
eat the English chocolate that arrived with the postcard and watch TV.
This morning, wanting to see what everyone else had come up with, I
started scrolling through the comments and was surprised to see this
posted by Geezer---whoever the hell that may be.
Kathy: you obviously need a long, long vacation, somewhere completely out of sight and sound of any recording device...
... unless they're broadcasting a Mets game!
So much pain... so much pain.
No shit, Sherlock. Talk about stating the obvious.
I'm not going to touch the Mets thing with a ten foot pole. Mike Piazza is going to heal my pain? I think not.
