Thanks a lot, Google.
So, when I create a new event in Google Calendar, it says “e.g. Breakfast at Tiffany’s” as an example of an event name. Almost every time I see this (which is a lot), I think of the stupid 90’s song by Deep Blue Something and then have it stuck in my head. Eventually I forget about it, until I have to add another event and repeat the whole process. THANKS, GOOGLE.
This reminds me that today at gymnastics class, they were playing a CD with kids singing pop songs, my most despised form of children’s music. Why does this exist? It’s horrible. Why wouldn’t they just play “Hey There, Delilah” or “Rich Girl” by the original artists? How can children singing these songs possibly be an improvement? A few minutes after ranting to my friend about the pain it was causing me to listen to that garbage, I overheard two other moms talking about how the music was great today. “Oh! I love this song!” WTF? Do they not notice that elementary school kids are butchering pop songs that are already played out (and probably no good to begin with)? I’m sure I would think it was adorable if it was some kind of school concert that Falco was performing in, but crap like that has no business being professionally recorded and played to the public.

I believe the idea behind that is that kids pick up skills from slightly-older children much faster than from an adult, even their parents. Its also probably cheaper than paying the RIAA the rights for replay.

Well, you’re one step ahead of me. I know so little of what’s being played these days I wouldn’t know if it’s the original or the remake.
