You know, there have been a lot of times when I feel the need to burst into song in the middle of a post. Just today, for instance, I felt it appropriate to belt out, “Katie and Joey, sitting in a tree.” Unfortunately, no one knew beforehand that I was singing.

I was wondering, Is it possible to request a new smilie here? One that has his mouth agape, with a musical symbol floating somewhere above…

Thank you for considering it.

Very good idea.

Wished for that, myself.

I think that’s the best you can do.  
(Prior requests for new smilies have all come to nought, but you can always hope.)
