I’m at a loss.

When I _read_ the lyrics to annoying songs, do I pierce my eardrums or rip my eyes out.

OK, **MissTake** , you asked for it:  
_All alone at the '64 World’s Fair  
Eighty dolls yelling “Small girl after all!”  
Who was at the DuPont Pavilion?  
Why was the bench still warm?  
Who had been there?_

Sing-a-long time! We all know the words: “When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge …” Oh, and **The Big Cheese**? If not for Howlie and the Blowdarts, I would have stopped watching _ages_ ago. But I can’t help myself: I’m a sucker for robot pirate monkey butlers with mohawks and coatimundi sidekicks on Vespa scooters.

_Wait, what were we talking about again?_

Hatred in a double post? I’m sooooo lucky!

But **BiblioCat** I _luurrvvveee_ you!

_Wanders off singing “I’m forever blow-wing bubbles! Tiny bubbles in the air…”_

The earworms have caused brainrot.

I don’t know why that posted twice. But _Small World_ desrves double hatred.  
Since I teach preschool, I get kiddie-song earworms all the time. I am especially vulnerable, and my brain is mush.

Kill me now.

\*Von 99 Luftballons  
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont  
Denkst Du vielleicht grad’ an mich  
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich  
Von 99 Luftballons  
Und dass sowas von sowas kommt  
\*

That’s right…the German version!

since you, collectively, have scarred my days with unwanted intrusive jingles:

**Don’t turn around, uh oh Der Kommissar’s in town…**

Which to me sounds like “globbaglobbaglobbaglobba Captain Kirk globbaglobba” for approximately 958 years of my youth. _Le sigh._ Whatever happened to Nena, anyway? And Falco? _And for the love of God, where is Taco?_

Falco ist tot. He died in 1998 in a car crash. Besides, the English version was by After The Fire.

Nena (the group) broke up but Nena (the lead singer) continued working, releasing hugely successful [url=http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/nena/bio.jhtml] albums (in Europe, anyway) in 2002 and 2005.

Taco, I dunno. Wikipedia only has a stub for him, but it looks like he’s doing swing music now.
