#PerfectSong alert: Bad Moves, New Year's Reprieve. I liked this a lot when it came out in December 2023, but the <gestures broadly> of the past 2 years has only made it feel more relevant.

It won’t kill you and it won’t make you stronger
And you’ll never get younger
But the days will get longer." -
It’s a #PerfectSong alert!
Fine Young Cannibals, “Good Thing” (1989)
Been listening to this song for 35 years & it’s never failed to make me wanna dance.
Also, scooters!

New old #PerfectSong: Astrud & João Gilberto with Stan Getz, “The Girl from Ipanema”.
It’s gonna be stinkin’ hot, so I needed a dose of something super-cool.

I hope I don't think of this when I hear this song in the future. I truly do hope I don't think of this, next time. What have I done? No where to run; no pee to run. ain't no fun.
It's lit-to-pop but now
your pee gonna Stop!One come a day
No water will run
Nobody could stand the wait
for pee to come( "You old!!..." )
One come a day
No water will run
Nobody could stand the wait
for pee to comeerection for some
help my pee to come.
help pee to come.
my pee will run.
