Musical Notes

• That song "If I Die Young" concerns me. I can just see it being the catalyst for a spate of 14 year old emo-girl suicides. And they'll all leave notes telling their loved ones to bury them in satin.

• It drives me insane when I'm flipping through radio stations trying to find something I like and I stop on a good song only to realize it's just Jack FM's station break where they play clips of a bunch of songs.

• Like my inexplicable love for all bad end-of-the-world disaster movies, I also love all duets. I can't think of one I don't like at least a little. Even country ones. Scratch that. Especially country ones. I know. I can't explain it either.
  

• "Pretty Young Thing" takes on a creepy quality after learning of Michael Jackson's alleged fondness for pretty young things.

• Thank you, Katy Perry, for forcing me to explain to my 5 and 6 year old what menage a trois means. I told them it means three people living in a house together (which is the literal translation, so I didn't even lie). Amelia piped up with, "Oh, so before Liam and I were born, you and daddy and Ben were a menage a trois!"
