Not anything big, but surprising me otherwise.
My mom knows the words to "Groove Is In The Heart". We were coming home from getting my car inspected yesterday and it came on 95.7 and I heard her start singing along with it.
And no, it is not because I play it on a neverending loop or anything like that. I don't. In fact, it is not a song I even listen to very often because I think Deee-Lite had better songs than that.

An Angry Letter To Music Choic
Dear Music Choice:
I noticed that recently you changed your line-up. Change is good. For the most part.
You used to have 2 different dance music stations- you had Dance and then you had Electronica. Now you went ahead and politely combined them to one station. Why? You have about 57 different rap stations, 83 different musica espanol stations, and about 426 different pop/rock stations that all play the same shit. You couldn't just provide two separate dance music stations? I know that dance music isn't "cool" to the sheep of society, but there are people out there who do actually like to listen to it and would appreciate a couple different stations for variety.
And then look at some of the stations you have. Toddler tunes? WTF? And Kidz Only? Now I kinda hate to knock on the KO one since they have played "Groove Is In The Heart" before, but....seriously? Most kids wouldn't know good music if it bit them on the ass. Their idea of "good music" and "talented singers" are Hannah Montana, for God's sake. Besides, kids shouldn't be watching TV. They need to get off their fat lazy asses and go outside and play.
Oh, and please do not ever get rid of "Sounds Of The Seasons". I anxiously await every November 1st for when they start to play Christmas music. It pleases me.
Sincerely,
An Angry Listener

Random Thoughts
Damn, I can't believe it is April already. Where is this year going?
Last week, I went into the den to tell my mother a story and a car commercial was on and I thought, wow, that song sounds pretty cool and then I realized it was "Major Tom (Coming Home)" and I thought, shit, finally someone put that song in a car commercial. I have always thought that would make an awesome song for a car commercial. Unfortunately, they couldn't have just used the original version by Peter Schilling. They had to butcher the song with some voice synthesized chick, once again furthering my belief that a law needs to be made that states that some songs are absolutely positvely just not allowed to be covered.
I know this has been on my "Things That Annoy Me" list before, but I am seriously going to go postal if I see the term "preggers" or "preggo" on more time. It's pregnant! Prego is a fucking pasta sauce and preggers is just stupid! And one excuse I read on Yahoo Answers is that the woman (the answerer) uses "preggers" because she is too lazy to type out pregnant. Apparently too lazy to learn math as well. "Preggers" has the same amount of letters as "pregnant", dumbass.
You know, I never get why a woman being beat is made out to be such a big deal. Yeah, that sounds wrong, but just hear me out. But if a man is being abused by a woman, less of a deal is made over it. And the ones that make the most racket over a woman being hit are the sames one who are making the most racket over women being treated fairly. Because we are female, we should be the only ones not ever hit? Get real. It is not okay to hit anyone, regardless of sex.
Did Chris Brown really find it necessary to go off on Rihanna the way he did? No. He had no business beating her the way he did. But if the rumors are true that Rihanna hit him, she had no business hitting him either. But no one will say that because it apparently is okay for a woman to hit a man.
A sign of getting old is radio stations. I grew up listening to Oldies 98.1 and I still listen to it because they play some good ass music. However, one day I was listening to it and they said the greatest hits of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Eighties! They are already onto the eighties! How many more years until 90s stuff starts playing? Will some time from now I will turn on 98.1 and "Groove Is In The Heart" will be on? Pft, probably not. No radio station seems to play it anymore. I keep hoping 106.1 will one day, but still no luck. But no radio station ever stops playing that "Too Close" by Next. I want to adminster major ass whoopings whenever it comes on.
I posted on a forum one day and mentioned that I didn't have a job yet to join a gym. Someone told me she got a job as a personal trainer even though she had no formal training and suggested I look into. It actually would be cool. Lose weight while earning money? Great. Sign me up yesterday! Only problem is someone would take one look at me, laugh hysterically and then probably say "bitch, please! I am expected to take weight loss advice from you?".

Mark Ronson on "Groove Is In The Heart":
I just remember going, what the hell is this? There's like psychadelic stuff and like Bootsy Collins in these big glasses and Q-Tip

Lyrics Of The Day
The rap from "Groove Is In The Heart", performed by Q-Tip:
Someone’s in this torso (yeah)
Hot! Got a deal you wanna know (wanna know)
De-liteful truly de-liteful (-liteful)
Makin’ it doin’ it 'specially at a show (show)
Feeling kinda high like a Hendrix haze (haze)
Music makes motion moves like a maze (maze)
All inside of me (side)
Heart especially (yeah)
Help of the rhythm where I wanna be (c’mon)
Flowin’ glowin’ with electric eyes (ha)
You dip to the dive baby you’ll realize (yeah)
Baby you’ll see the funky side of me
Baby you’ll see that rhythm is the key (hmm!)
Get get ready with it (with it)
Can’t can’t quit it (quit it)
Stomp on the street when I hear a funk beat (beat)
Playing Pied Piper
Follow what’s true
Baby just sing about the groove (sing it)
