Whereas mentioning Vera Lynn always earworms me with Pink Floyd.
ReplyDeleteAmy Young i was just thinking that. for some weird reason i have been walking around singing "vera" for like a month, even though its one of my least favorite songs on the wall. what the hail
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly not one of my favorites either!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I have the backbeat to "Money" in my brain.
