The words "hallelujah" and "anaconda" have similar phonetics and thus my brain sometimes confuses the two.
"It's a cold and it's a broken anaconda... anaconda, anaconda...": weird.
"My hallelujah don't want none unless you got buns, hun": REALLY weird.

Today I heard a cover of Summertime Sadness by a dude, and he removed the bits about the beauty queen style hair and the high heels and the red dress.
Sir, why did you cover this song if you were going to do THAT.
Coward.

Me: So what's stopping me from loading the Heroes soundtracks on my phone and rocking out forever?

Hello blorbo from my show
Into fanfic you now go
I have headcanons like woah
The plot bunnies, they just grow
And the plot twist that was planted in my brain
Still remains
So now of course you suffer

Me: (doing stretches while listening to music)
Brain: So it makes sense for shanties to have both a completely regular beat, because that's necessary to get all the sailors to synchronize movements like pulling a line or rowing, and also minimal tonal difference, since who's going to worry about notes when you're doing heavy lifting like that.
Me: Can we enjoy ANYTHING without going all academic about it?
Brain: No.
Me: Okay then.
