In the other thread in Cafe Society on creepy tunes, someone mentioned “It’s a Small World”. I can see that side of it, the forced, smiling, mindless vapidity that overexposure to that song would inflict - but we can nip it in the bud, I say.

Simple: we’ll make up our own lyrics for it.

_It’s a world of Carl Jung, a world of Freud  
Full of anxious doubts for every paranoid  
There’s so much to be feared,  
all of it so truly weird.  
It’s a mad world after all._

But I know you can do better than that. At least, I really, really hope so…
