Gahhhh! I sat at the desk all day with [Cheech the Schoolbus Driver](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzxtxr4dijw) going through my head! It’s a cool song, but I had to keep consciously reminding myself not to laugh while checking out the patrons’ books! ---

_The Flame Still Burns_, by Jimmy Nail, from the movie _Still Crazy_. “And the flame still burns, It’s there in my soul for that unfinished goal And the flame still burns, From a glimmer of then, it lights up again In my life.” I just LOVE this song, so it’s not so bad having it stuck in my brain! 🙂 ---

Right now, it’s _Signs_, by Tesla, their remake of the Average White Band song. It was playing on the radio when I drove home from the store earlier this evening. For most of last week, and up until the aforementioned car trip, it was _Jumper_, by Third Eye Blind ---

Same as it has been for a month. Sh-boom Sh-boom, off the Cars soundtrack. Side effect of having the movie on heavy rotation in the Foolie house. You have to love a song with lyrics like “hey nonny ding dong…” ---
