[Obscure song lyrics]

If you're in need of a spiritual lift, check out this video. It was given by Elder Busche at a BYU devotional in 1996. I watched it last week during my students' writing class and I was so impressed by his message. I hope you enjoy it too!

I wanna hold your haaaaaaaaaaaand

I like Jordan. Here are a few reasons why:

1. He's spir'chal.

2. He entertains me all the time. Whether it's a silly pun, an in-jokey text, dazzling impersonations of Homestar Runner characters, or sleep talking, he makes me giggle lots.

3. He packs me lunch every day. Really.

4. When I'm sad and acting like a girl, he lets me sit on him and cry.

5. He lets me eat his nachos even when I lie about not being hungry, and then steal most of them.

6. He gives the bestest hugs.

7. He always knows exactly when I want to watch The IT Crowd.

8. He makes up silly songs about why we're awesome.

I love you, I've a drowning grip on your adoring face

I like wearing Jordan's jacket. It's like wearing a hug.

Did you think up something you didn't think of?

Guys, this week has been hard for me. I mean, not only did I take my anatomy lab final, but I've had a streak of terrible songs stuck in my head. I don't know if it's just because they play terrible music at the office where I'm shadowing an orthodontist, or if there's actually some part of my brain that is actually an alien trying to slowly take over control of my body by inserting subconscious signals through terrible music. Either way, my wife has had to suffer through some ridiculous songs lately. Here is a sampling of the mixed tape that has been stuck in my brain lately:

• "The Little Drummer Boy"
• "The Reason" by Hoobastank
• "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia
• "Wherever, Whenever" by Shakira
• "Breaking the Habit" by Linkin Park
• "Teardrops on My Guitar" by Taylor Swift
• "The Reason" by Hoobastank (I had it stuck in my head on two completely separate occasions)
• "Ich Bin Dein Gummibär" ("I Am a Gummy Bear" in German)
• "Bedrock Anthem" by "Weird Al" Yankovic
• "Photograph" by Nickelback (I have spared you the official video; this one is probably worse better worse)
• Probably the worst of all: "Pieces of Me" by Ashlee Simpson

...Needless to say, the past week has been tormentuous. I think it has been worse for my poor wife, actually. So anyway, what terrible songs get stuck in your head?
