Random Musings

There are many times that things strike me funny or get me thinking.

I've started listening to country music again sometimes. Maybe it's seeing the cows and horses, but it just sounds less annoying in MD than it did in NJ. I heard a song the other day that included the following lyrics "I want to check you for ticks." That has got to be my favorite line from a country song of all time! I'm sorry, but there was nothing sexy or romantic when we had to remove an embedded tick from Jolie Lassahn's neck at CampFire camp!

I think the driving schools need to be audited. It seems to me that more and more people don't know the rules about crossing double yellow lines, or not driving in the hatched areas of merge zones. In what world does anyone think it's safe to pass someone in the Harbor Tunnel?! Maybe they just don't care.

I think most everyone has heard of Gwen Stefani. And many of us know her song "Rich Girl". If not, here it is. http://youtube.com/watch?v=nCISSGjcHL4
Obviously, Fiddler on the Roof was part of her inspiration.

A few weeks ago I heard another one of her songs, "Wind It Up" http://youtube.com/watch?v=2vPQfNGR5aA
"The Lonely Goatherd" from Sound of Music was used in this one. It's a little catchy, but bizarre at the same time.

Maybe her next song will include "I Can't Say No" from Oklahoma or "Ol' Man River" from Showboat!

And finally, I came across and Old School video from Sesame Street. How many of us remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-YcBVEnLT8 Classic!
