OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Now I am being plagued (no irony intended) by a modern classical piece.  I cannot remember the name or the composer.  It is the one with the gigantic choral group.  I think it was the theme music in a movie about a guy who goes off to a South American jungle.  Help!

No. It is not the soundtrack of "The Mission"  which starred De Niro and Jeremy Irons.

That's Baroque, anyway. I'm afraid this is the best I can do at the moment. I'll check with my friend who's a classical music critic.

That is an amazing list, even if it only covers movies starting with the letter "A".  You took me too literally when I said it was "classical" music.  I used the adjective "modern" to qualify it.  I meant that the quality was "classical" in nature.  In fact I heard a symphony orchestra and chorus perform it on stage years ago. 
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

I FOUND IT!   It is "Carmina Burana"  by Carl Orff.   I am so relieved.   Check it out.  It is very invigorating.

It's the official opera of the OKNeoAC, as I recall, if the Boo Hoo Bible is still reasonably canon. Not sure whose version I have.

Now I am being tormented by "A Gal in Calico".  I first heard this tune as a pre-teen when I was in elementary school.  The first line is "Met a gal in Calico, many years ago..."   I had no idea what calico was.  One of my teachers in art class assigned us the project of drawing a calico cat.  I like all of my classmates merely gave her a blank stare.  For all I knew calico was a city in New Mexico.  It isn't, is it?  One of my braver classmates asked her what a calico cat was.  She graciously responded that it was a patchwork patterned cat.  That merely compounded the confusion. 
Suffice it to say that what I drew hardly even represented a cat, let alone a calico cat.

Edelweiss. I'm just trying to scrub out dog carriers (for moving multiple cats), I am sneezing from all the bleach that has already ruined a new pair of Wranglers, and fucking Ira Glass's long-stale paycheck puts this shit in my head.

It might not be so aggravating were I not down to my last Hamm's.

Sing a Song. By the Carpenters, not Earth Wind & Fire. I hypothesize this to be punishment for drinking a PBR while having 11 minutes to wait for the bus.

OH NO.  YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THERE.

It came to me, not the other way around. I'm limiting myself to things that persist for at least 24 hours and trying to censor the fantastically repetitive Trader Joe's soundtrack.

Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

Are you saying, you didn't know if I was going to rickroll you? That was the point - take a leap of faith and click the link, if you haven't.
