Hey, at least I added a link so people could hear the song to help them get it out of their head (or to rip it screaming to the frount of their heads so they couldn't forget it... I forget which...)

Could be worse...could be a country song.

Oh you mean like This one....

:-)

Erik says I met you. Where? When?

Hmm, yes a number of times. Usually at Con's (Arisia, Boskone, etc...). Also at his installation.
