It's still #AlternateFridayMusic with the buzz of a #bee
From a time before Bluey, if you have kids of a certain age, you'll know this:
Justine Clarke - Doin' It
🎶 There’s a bumble bee, a honey bee
Gettin’ the honey for you and me
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it
Buzzing around – helping the garden grow 🎶
It's been more than a decade since I had to play this to child of mine and it still lives rent free in my head and still messes with my mind to this day.

I may have raved about Christine Lavin before, the New York folk singer-songwriter who can go back and forth between light-hearted and heart-wrenching with equal ease. This is closer to the latter, as she wrestles with whether or not to pursue a long-distance romance with an unlikely partner. (Of course, it may not be autobiographical, but if it is, it probably lines up with half a dozen other songs on later albums...)
