Yesterday I was driving along, minding my own business, tuned into Radio K as I sometimes do. Though I’ve been listening less often lately, as it’s power surge time (the station’s bi-annual pledge drive dealie). Not only do I not have any money to give, I just really want to listen to the tunes. So maybe it’s some sort of karmic retribution. I got my wish all right. On came a Joan Jett/Paul Westerberg duet that I hadn’t heard in years. A cover of Cole Porter’s classic Let’s Do It. I like the song well enough, but put it out of my mind after it stopped playing. Until this morning. I was dismayed enough when I woke up at 5am, unable to get back to sleep. The situation worsened when I realized that song was stuck on repeat in my head.
I’m sure sometimes on the sly you do it
Maybe even you and I might do it
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love
Ugh. Someboday make it stop.
