> [@Odinoneeye](#): > > … > ODE3: There’s a fresh freckled face, in the neighborhood This one drove me nuts all night, I knew it but everytime I tried to hear the rest of the lyrics the “Charles in Charge” lyrics would take over. Finally, I skipped over the next lyric after that and then I could hear it in my head. I heard Linda Lavin singing “There’s a new girl in town…” in her smug “I’m a good singer, really!” voice and I knew it was from **Alice**. I also realized that’s why I had such a hard time remembering it, because I had managed to successfully block her singing from my memory. It’s one of those earworms that gets stuck in my head when I hear it or think about it. Thanks for dredging that up Odin. ☹ ---
