Songs Of My Life

Okay, so today's toddlers probably grow up singing Radiohead songs or something. When I was a kid, we had some really regrettable music for kids, and even more regrettably, some of it is still lodged in my brain.

Which explains why, on a gorgeous, cloudless summer afternoon, I was floating in an inner tube, with "Tubby the Tuba" going around and around my brain:

Tubby the Tuba, pufffing away
Never had a tune to play.
Always wished he'd play a song
'Stead of puffing all day long
That oompah oompah oompah pah
Oompah oompah oompah pah!
