"Eā āIā āEā āIā āO"
You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth mineral
She said it was because she was too short and didn't have the right shoes on.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEEEEEEEEE
By the time I hit bottom I had written 10 5FDP songs.
Years ago I used to use a LexisNexis database of companies that would give corporate information like name, address, and general business description. While most of them were pretty bland, there were a bunch of them with some really cheesy puns, and over a few years I built quite a collection.
Today I share with you "NEXIS IS RIDICULOUS.txt":
- Bucyrus International caters to those who mine their own business.
- It would be logical for Mr. Spock to boldly go to Vulcan International for rubber products. He might even live long and prosper -- in comfortable shoes.

- Peter Piper can pick more than a peck of peppers or pickles from B&G Foods.
- Toray Plastics America could sing "foam, foam on the range, where the polyester and polypropylene materials are made" all day.
- Break out the Tums, because things are awfully gassy over at Air Liquide America.

- American Italian Pasta Company (AIPC) uses its noodle in many different ways.
- The golf industry doesn't mind when Aldila gives it the shaft.

- Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics deals powders and crystal, but there's no need to call the cops.
- Pamida Stores Operating Company offers more small-town values than a bandwagon of Republicans on the campaign trail.
- Like a tight end, offshore drilling contractor Transocean dreams of going deep but doesn't mind eating a little mud.
- Rittal me this, Batman!
- Utility Trailer Manufacturing is spreading its own brand of reefer madness.
- Who is the Fresh Prince of Sullair?
- If GrafTech International were a bard, it could wax poetic in an ode to the electrode.
- When it comes to adhesives and vibration control products, LORD knows.
- You might say that Deere & Company enjoys its customers going to seed.

So this was in the summer of 2011 and at the time this song was a big hit: Medina - You and I. The important part here is the chorus, starting at 0:44.
So in the middle of the song I ask my friend "Do you know what kind of car this singer drives?"
"No idea", she said. To which I replied "A hyu-n-dai."
She almost threw me out of the car.
So I was driving around with my friend who is addicted to that "What Does the Fox Say?" song (so annoying). I almost hit a squirrel which brought up conversation about hitting/almost hitting animals.
Him: "Yeah the other day I almost hit a fox coming home from work."
Me: "Oh really? What did it say?"
Him: "-__-"
I think I laughed at that joke to myself for a good five minutes.
GF's text autocorrected to: "I'm so glad we're dining this together, I would be a mess without you."
Me: "Are those lyrics from the hit song 'Love letter to a napkin'?".
I could feel her eye roll and groan from 5 hours away.
So my dad was in a choir a long time ago and the sopranos were having trouble hitting a high a in one of the songs they were doing
The director says "alright i think we'll take a break and get back to that part"
Without a beat my dad responds "i guess that would be a Hiatus"
He still tells the story of the time he told the joke like 10 years later.
Dad: Did you hear how the guy who sang the song, "On The Road Again", died?
Me: No dad
Dad: He was hit by a car
So I was in the shower with my girlfriend this morning, and I have one of those Moxie Bluetooth showerheads so I can stream music from my phone to my shower.
At different points during the song, I was (gently) playing the cowbell part on her butt, cymbals on her stomach, etc.
During the guitar solo, I picked up some of her wet hair and began strumming the notes along with the song. She gave me a nasty glare.
And then, it hit me.
"Sorry babe. I just can't help playing HAIR guitar during this song!"
The look she gave me....
