I’ve got the damn Target commercial jingle about getting my “fash on” nibbling at my sanity.

BTW, it’s Old Navy that wants you to get your “fash on,” not Target.

Sean Paul. Don’t ask. Someone linked me to “We Be Burning” on YouTube a couple of days ago, and I’d heard it at a party last week, and I’m a sucker for earworms. I’m trying to kill it by feeding it large doses of Sting, though.

Dude by Beenie Man. Particularly:  
_She say she never had it so deep  
So right now I’m the man she definitely want to keep._  
And like sexy Maxine says:  
_I want a dude with the wickedest slam  
I want a one two three hour man._

You are a sick, sick man.

But then, mine is…

_Leroy_ by Fibonaccis, a very catchy tune about an adorable little girl who’s a serial killer.

“He gave me the medal but he tried to run away  
so I hit him with the shoe again  
He kept crying and making noise  
Well I was afraid someone would hear  
So I kept on hitting and hitting and hitting and hitting AND HITTING AND HITTING HIM!!”

(It makes sense if you’ve seen **The Bad Seed** )
