Ann Althouse said...: Song I was listening to on headphones at the time: "Puff the Magic Dragon."

Reason: A propos of that post about Murakami, I was playing the Spotify playlist of the songs named in his novel "Norwegian Wood."; 2/9/26, 9:42 AM

Peachy said...: I love it when I hear traditional Mexican music pouring out of someone's job-site radio.. or car.

That is just noise.; 2/9/26, 10:06 AM
Peachy said...: I say job-site based on who shows up to work. So - don't get all weird.; 2/9/26, 10:07 AM

Original Mike said...: Flew over Picnic Point this morning on our flight out of Madison. Bird's eye view; it sticks way out into the lake, much more than it feels like on the ground. At least for me.; 2/9/26, 10:25 AM

My mother says I had her play that endlessly when I was a child. I do remember loving it.; 2/9/26, 10:27 AM

Original Mike said...: "My mother said that about me and "The Mexican Hat Dance.""

I had to look that up. I know the song, but didn't know its name.; 2/9/26, 11:41 AM
Howard said...: Mexican Hat Dance is essentially a Polka; 2/9/26, 11:46 AM
Original Mike said...: Hmmm. Have a 10 hour layover. "American Beauty" sounds like a good idea.; 2/9/26, 11:52 AM
Jamie said...: I remember listening to Jesus Christ Superstar over and over and over via giant headphones on my dad's reel-to-reel when I was six. I would get to the crucifixion scene and rewind to the beginning because the creepy voices scared me. I still know all the words to everything up to that point.; 2/9/26, 12:53 PM
Jaq said...: When my baby daughter would start crying, the best cure was to sing "Mammy's Little Baby Loves Shortening Bread."; 2/9/26, 3:14 PM
