Songs stuck in my head

Today I’ve had a couple of songs stuck in my head. One is a TV commercial from about 1980 that has a catchy jingle:

Someone’s gonna win ten thousand dollars
– just like that! –
Ten thousand dollars?
– just like that! –
Someone’s gonna win ten thousand dollars
In Crispy Wheats & Raisins
Cash Reward

The other song I’ve had in my head all day is “Polythene Pam,” from Abbey Road by the Beatles. In fact, as I’m reading this I’m playing tracks 10-16 of Abbey Road, a medley of song snippets which includes the 1 minute, 12 second “Polythene Pam” among others. Maybe it’s because I have a Chilean friend named Pam that this song came to mind. Here’s the first verse:

You should see Polythene Pam
She’s so good looking but she looks like a man
You should see her in drag
Dressed in her polythene bag
You should see Polythene Pam

Just kidding, Pam. You don’t really look like a man. and you’re a great kisser

I had a great time at Cooper-Young Fest today. I’ll post a full report in the morning from the Union Avenue branch office. Speaking of which, JOSH wants me to let everyone know that he will be bartending and working a double, so he’ll be there all day for Sunday brunch. And I likely will too. Stop by.
