Everyone Knows It’s Win-dy


I’m self-indulgently listening to my own stream today, and Windy by the Association just came on. If there was ever a more mindlessly lightweight yet catchy pop song, I don’t know what it could be. Anyone who’s ever suffered in my presence can tell you that I have a real weak spot for musical cheeze-wiz. There’s something about the crassly commercial music of the 1960s and early 1970s, in particular that just sends me into paroxysms of giggling… and, I might add, barely suppressed admiration. So if you were wondering why sometimes the stream goes from, say, Panacea to Paul Mauriat, that’s the explanation.

There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. -- Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior
