Usually when I go in the Piggly Wiggly the music is country songs about Jesus. Yesterday, very strange, it was:
Of course the humming part is stuck with me now.
ETA: It reminded me of the first girl to show an interest in me in junior high. It was a weird scene: Her divorced dad was a cop (with the mustache and everything), her older brother was obliviously gay (with being a hairdresser and everything) - even though they all insisted he wasn’t - and they were Christians. I know, but she was cute and into new wave music and had really big boobs and liked me for some reason. We always made out in her absolutely pitch-black room.
I quit coming around after she said she loved this song but the video was “against God” because the white girl was “dancing with a n*****”
I was going to post this one when @mindysan33 mentioned karaoke. It’s hard to find a karaoke bar that has this, but it’s worth the effort.
I also found it incredibly useful to sing when I couldn’t take any more of the kids playing the Echo Game. They’d hang around to chime in on the “Leonard Bernstein”, then wander off because they were now bored.
Many of the lyrics in this hit extra hard right now:
Love your ego, you won’t feel a thing
Always number one, the pen with a bent wrist, crooked king
Sign away our peace for your war
One word and it’s over
Dropping your bombs, now, on all we’ve built
How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
Raise your weapons, raise your weapons
And it’s over
I guess? It’s ingrained in my head. It seems likely that it’s from some ad-supported streaming platform or another, but it could have been from cable television a few years back.
