_It’s Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland)_ by Barenaked Ladies: They say you’ll never love another 'til you love yourself, Well, brother, I’m in love with everyone I see… The song begins with a low, gutteral grunt, and ends with a rather orgasmic “Ohhhhhhh yeaaaaah!” 🙂 ---

Tweets “Oops [Oh My]” I had heard this song on the radio dozens of times, and never paid too much attention to it until my 6-year-old niece was in the car with me and she started singing. It’s got a catchy beat, but it’s definitely not for kids. ---
