@trike Sinatra’s “j-i-n-g-l-e bells” was the inciting incident for this toot, Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E” is a great one, and of course Gwen Stefani reminds us this shit is bananas.

@trike @djsundog Canadian Dream is such an interesting song. Like, could there ever be an (English) Canadian song more explicitly designed to never get any amount of significant radio play in the US?

And yet they still spell out "socialism" like it's some sort of bad word that they're trying to get past censors, and the line "everything moves real slow when it's 40 below" works in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
