Day 14 has fallen off the first page and I don’t want to see this series die, so I guess it’s my turn to keep it going. My pick is [Ramones - I’m Against It](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT8oGa3XTTw). I’m sure the lyrics are tongue-in-cheek, but I guess misanthropic and antisocial themes appeal to me. ---

It doesn’t describe me so much anymore but it used to be my theme song, and it’s the first one that popped into my head. I still use it to remind myself to let loose sometimes. Don’t think I need to link it: _Girls Just Want To Have Fun_, by the wonderful Cyndi Lauper. 😃 I remember seeing a list of\*\* IT’\*\*s song questions but now I can’t remember where. If someone will provide a link I’ll take a turn one of these days. I kind of wonder if this has been a social experiment. 😃 I don’t care who posts or when as long as someone does. It’s been fun and I’ve found new music. ---

There’s a song that just came out, by a young YouTube star, and it perfectly incapsulates how one stays young at heart forever. It’s by Ruth B and it’s called “Lost Boy.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/58TBZnvyGwQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Ruth B. - Lost Boy (Official Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58TBZnvyGwQ) ---

**[“I Want To Be Evil” by Eartha Kitt](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS02GeKuWQ4)** And I not only want to shoot pool…I have done it (when my family had a table and an official tournament/professional (nine feet long) one at that!) and still do it (on my smartphone) quite well. 🆒 ---
