    Several ‘90s club classics - The Key / The Secret, King of My Castle, Pretty Green Eyes, Better Off Alone, Freed from Desire.

    In middle life, now that I’ve started to take physical fitness more seriously, I’ve come to the realisation that some of those floor-fillers are awesome work-out and running songs, even if the lyrics sound like the sort of inane drivel that the Spice Girls might have penned after a botched ice-pick lobotomy. So, I’m conflicted.

    Ha, ha.
    I’m writing a story which begins with the protagonist’s morning exercise routine, and that’s how I came up with that line. So, if it ever appears in print, you’ll know it hast been plagiarised. This post was edited by Reverend Muhammadovsky at September 5, 2025 5:40 PM MDT

    All of Stephen Foster. Beautiful music but the man was a racist POS.

    I wouldn't say "hate" in this case but there are many words I don't like in "Imagine." Beautiful music, though, to me.

    OMG! Literally!! 
    :)

    How did I fail to notice?! I'm going to listen again to the song some time today! Have to get to a busy weekend of work but I'll be smiling, I bet, thinking of that "extra" word, ha. :)

    I promise I'm not lying.
    This afternoon while I was mowing my yard, your words came to my mind and I was singing -- and the words I sang it to were in Paul McCartney and Wings' song "Live and Let Die," not John Lennon's "Imagine."

    And I smile as I type --  just at this moment, after reading your reply again, I realize you never said the words that drive you crazy are in "Imagine."

    A purposeless reply on my part, I guess, now. But I'll leave it anyway. :)
