Local chap who used to be the lead singer for The Presidents of the United States of America, the court jesters of the grunge scene. How many people can take "Pop Goes the Weasel" and turn it into a commentary on what it's like to be a one-hit wonder while still being a kid's song? Of course, Sturgeon's Law applies to everything - and what fits in one person's 90% might be a favorite of another person. Or as I say, everybody has a right to their own taste in music, even if it's wrong. use std::option::sig

Don't even get me started about Raffi, who apparently is huge in a lot of families. (Not mine, that fucker gets skipped any time his music comes up) And we're not even going to talk about that fucking purple dinosaur. There are a few songs out there that are surprisingly decent. Casper Babypants doesn't use "inappropriate" language, and yet still somehow ends up sounding like he's still doing a continuation of his old grunge band. (which was halfway to a kids' band already - "Little Dune Buggy", "Some Postman", "Peaches" for example) Then there's Kira Willey's "Let's Go To Work" which I've actually considered doing a solo jazz routine to - played it for a few other local dancers, and they've all reacted rather positively to it. ``use std::option::sig
