I can't get this song out of my head, and it always makes me think of katharina. It's a Ben Folds song, and I have altered the lyrics in one place, as they just didn't fit. [Smile]

Kate
She plays wipeout on the drums
the squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh I...have you got nothing to say?

When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape's a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
so the roses can see
Oh I...have you got nothing to say?

And you can see the daisies
in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate! Kate! Kate!

Everyday she wears the same thing
I think she [knows a lot]
She's everything I want, She's everything I'm not
Oh. I...
Have you got nothing to say?

She never gets wet
She smiles and it's a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate! Kate! Kate!

Down by the Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the
Bhagaved Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna meet her so that
I can say...hey Kate

Kate! Kate!

This song just makes me happy, because it makes me think of Katie and I'm happy she's my friend. [Smile]

And no, she's not paying me anything. [Wink] As a matter of fact, we have to be two of the most different (from each other) friends I've ever heard of. We don't usually agree on stuff that really matters, but for some reason that DOESN'T matter so much. I think Homer Simpson said it best, "Our differences are only skin deep but are sames go all the way to the bone." [Big Grin]

So, wanna share a song that makes you happy, or a song that reminds you of someone?

Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree!

Nobody can sing it and not inherently be happy.

Oh.... *melts* [Blushing] Olivia, you are so sweet! Thank you... [Smile] [Smile] I love that we are friends, and I completely agree with you about our friendship.

Heh. That's so true! I'm so blessed to have you as a friend. You're absolutely wonderful. I think you see me through some serious rose-colored glasses if the song seems to fit, but I'll take it. [Wink] *massive hugs*

And I have my phone with me, and will for the next couple of hours as I work late. [Smile]

scott's assessment of the "Popcorn popping" song somehow got the sunbeam song stuck in my head. Thanks, scott.

Isn't it funny that no matter where you are, the sunbeams always put HEAVY annunciation on the
"-beam" part of the song and jump? Always.

I love it when my kids scream "BEAM!"

And I love how when they sing Little Bunny Foo-Foo they really, really pop those fieldmice on the head.
