Speaking of earworms, I was distressed to find out last week that Starship's "We Built This City" is featured in a TV ad with the lyrics changed to "We Fixed This Toilet." The ad showed up on ABC's NFL draft coverage, so I assume they'll keep playing it until we all beg for mercy.

One college semester I lived beside two girls who woke up every morning to “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” at full blast.

Our hall was a designated “quiet hall.”

I was the RA.

Still don’t hate the song though.
