You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

She refers to "Twist" as "the train song"

But then what does she call "Train"?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But then what does she call "Train"?

She hasn't seen that one yet.

Her requests are like this: "I want the happy Pink song. I want the sad Pink. I want the Other Pink. I want the Noodle sad song ("Feel Good, Inc." by Gorillaz). I want Noodle dancing ("Dare" - Gorillaz.) I want the song where they throw paper balls at the bad boy ("16 Military Wives" - Decemberists).

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

Has she seen Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" video? I wonder what she'd call that....

Well, she has good taste.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Much more developed than Emeline's taste these days. Joe played her Aqua's "Barbie Girl" and now that's all she wants. When she gets it, she dances her Barbie's on the kitchen table.

Does that ping your feminist sensibilities? (I'm not familiar with that song.)

No. I've come to realize I don't have any. Besides, hard to yell about a song that was on my playlist because I like it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To get feministically upset about "Barbie Girl" you'd have to take the song more seriously than I think the singers are.

I imagine "Bratz Girl" would be worse if it existed.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can't take "Barbie Girl" as having anything to do with the dolls. For one thing, the song's Ken sounds like he actually has a sex drive.
