Every now and then I hear a song that I can't stop listening to over and over again. Earlier in the year it was the Magic Numbers and then for a while "If I had a hammer" by Peter, Paul and Mary (!). Currently it's "Jesusland" by Ben Folds. My iPod is like some 1950s DJ booth with a Buddy Holly single. I play it once and then again and then again and again. It's, erm, quite catchy. I've never thought of myself as a fan of Ben Folds or his not-so-furious five but this song followed me home and it was so cute I had to keep it.
I'm a little bit disturbed though. The title is the core of the chorus (the chor?) but it sounds like "She's a slaaaaaaaaag". Forget the
Interpretation of Dreams surely there's a name to be made for the modern psychoanalyst who can define the interpreation of miss-heard lyrics. Maybe this is what I want to hear? Due to some deep-seated need to meet women of a dubious moral standing? Of course nothing could be further from the truth...
