We have a dresser that has a top that lifts (to reveal a pad that makes it a changing table).
Well, the top has a latch that releases with the sound of a piano chord… the exact piano chord that starts off this haunting-yet-cozy tune from Fellow Travellers (the early-90s band fronted by Jeb Loy Nichols).
A song I haven’t heard or thought about in 45 years inexplicably popped into my head. It’s the epitome of Yacht Rock, but I looked it up on YouTube and found I still liked it after all these years.
“Hot Rod Hearts” by Robbie Dupree.
“Hot rod hearts
Out on the boulevard tonight
Here come those hungry sharks
Up from the bottom for another bite…”
I recalled this one from my elementry school days recently and now it’s stuck in my brain. It’s sung to the tune of “Colonel Bogey March” (also known as the “Bridge over the River Kwai” theme)
