noahgibbsThis week, Brezsny says:
"You know how a song can get stuck in your head and won't leave you alone? The astrological omens say you'll be unusually susceptible to this phenomenon in the coming week. I suggest, therefore, that you immediately begin working to ensure that you'll be invaded by only the most inspiring and motivating songs. As soon as you're finished reading this horoscope, make a list of your top five, then hum them for a while. Want some suggestions? How about "Cleanin' Out My Closet," by Eminem or "I See God in You," by India.Arie? Or maybe "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," which ends with the lines "Deep in my heart the answer was in me/ And I made up my mind to find my own destiny."
This is me every week. So it's probably another week of "They'll Need a Crane", "The Biplane Evermore" and other bizarreness. I was singing "The Galway Farmer" this morning in my head as I rode in to work. I suppose that's inspiring.
I need to learn some good songs about monkeys.
Oh, and hey... The Onion:
"You have always considered yourself a belt-and-suspenders type, which makes it all the more amusing when your pants fall down anyway."

Which isn't to say I didn't really like the old Disney movie, at least as old Disney movies go. I'm a sucker for Don Knotts or a chimpanzee, and TMU had a chimpanzee. I don't recall whether it had Don Knotts.
