YIPPIE TIE YAAAAYYY!!!!

Okay, I'm WAY too happy about this, but I FIGURED OUT THE SONG THAT I SPENT MONTHS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT!!! YAAAY~!!! now there are no unsolved songs stuck in my head. So, I don't know when this song is from, but I haven't heard it since probably the early 90s??? so that's another song that is from like 20 years ago and just popped into my head. Upon listening to it, I still really like the song too! AND....I just played it for Scott while jumping up and down in sheer glee, and he said that I actually hummed it pretty exactly. YAY! Tone deaf? IN YOUR FACE!!!! :)
So, do you wanna know what song it is? Do ya? Nah, maybe I won't tell you. But I better tell you before I forget again! Pictures of Matchstick Men by Camper Van Beethoven! It's the beginning violin part that I had stuck in my head, and that is VERY hard to look up..hence my trying to sing, DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAA DA DAA DA DAA DA DAAA to people and getting blank stares. Oh, and I remembered, "and yoooouuu"...Without further ado, HERE IS THE SONG.

Songs that Stick

The most recent one (last few months): I'm still trying to figure out, but I'm thinking it might be Camper Van Beethoven.

Second most recent: Adagio in G Minor by Albinoni (first discovered on "Rhythm of Life) when George Martin plays a little bit on piano to describe simple melodies.


Least recent: I used to listen to this song with my dad and my brother in the 80s, and I always remembered it and liked it but couldn't remember enough about it to re-discover it and find out who it was. I finally found it in the last year...it's Kate Fagan's "Don't Wanna be Too Cool".

Adagio in G Minor by Albinoni

one version

I am going to learn this song so that I can play it better than the versions I found. No one plays it (that I can find) the way I envision it.

I wonder

I wonder if potential employers can see the time that you submitted your application. If so, I wonder if they frown upon odd hours. I apply for a lot of jobs after midnight; like I just applied for a job at 2:30 a.m. The stuff you have to think about...!

Oh, and I also wonder what it means when people say "the royal we"
