- I like sudden falsetto. I'm thinking of the chorus of "Timebomb" (special note on that link: I was at that show, surrounded by lesbians) by the Old 97s. This "Hey" probably qualifies.

- I am coming to terms with the fact that I have some kind of fetish for extra-lyrical utterances in songs. OMG, I heart counting off, especially in the middle of a song. I'm not talking about just-filling-up-time Eddie Vedder-style whoas, though. I draw the line there.

I always get confused when I talk about your blog, mistaking "like a virgin" for "like a prayer." Maybe you should compare those two songs.
