(Also, her youth but that's fleeting so...)
Yeah, but she'd be jealous of your hair.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also the bowel clenching sensation of thinking about "We Built This City" and Journey's "When The Lights Go Down In The City" representing San Francisco in the 70s.
"We Built This City" is the most sucktastic song ever. But "When The Lights Go Down In The City" isn't as bad as "The Night Chicago Died." That all took place on the "East side of Chicago." Apparantly Al Capone and his gang were fresh-water mermen....

Ann, that's a ferret.
And I heard "Sugar, Sugar" in the weirdest context this morning.
The morning show on XM's '60s channel is very heavily request-oriented. And the listeners don't feel limited to the obvious candidates.
So this morning, a caller wanted to dedicate a song to her sister. Seems caller had just stolen sister's husband. And wanted to dedicate "Little Arrows" by Leapy Lee.
A few minutes later, sister calls in. Sister explains that they're twins, and original caller accomplished the theft by pretending to be sister. And that as far as she was concerned, original caller could have the man. Sister then went on to request "Sugar, Sugar."

Anyone want to place bets that the entire sequence of calls was a prank from one woman?

I think my personal pick for most sucktastic song ever is Bette Midler's "From a Distance," the song that makes G-d sound like a creepy, voyueristic peeping Tom.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Who's got a favorite podcast to share?
Try the Gervais podcasts on iTunes. I think they may all be for pay now, but they're worth it. The Sound of Young America is a little earnest but is dialed into what's good in comedy right now. KCRW has several podcasts. NOVA occasionally releases a short "Science Now" bit. There's also Buffycast, again, a little earnest but good for washing the dishes (if you can hear the broadcast through the headphones, which I often cannot).

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Though listening to his earlier tracks like "Ol '55" or even "Heart of Saturday Night" I'm struck by how well he can sing in a fairly conventional voice. Not great, but without the deep phlegmy gargle some dislike.
I suspect the booze and especially the cigaretts helped with this change in style.
Do you have the "Early Songs" collections (that I think TW objected to)? I think one of your categories (not sure exactly which) REQUIRES "(I Guess I'm) Up Shit Creek Again" to be inlcuded.

Awesome song!
