So, around Thanksgiving, the Muzak channel changed from “Cool Songs that Elaine doesn’t Automatically Hate” to “Hits of the 50s and Eeeeearly 60s” and stayed that way until a week or two ago. Actually, I liked the old music channel because I hadn’t heard two of my favorite old songs “Let’s Hang On” by Frankie Valli and “Hello Stranger” by Barbara Lewis in years (I now have them on the iPod, making my “Elaine’s Favorites” playlist officially the only playlist on the planet to include the above two songs AND “Wake Up Call” by Maroon 5).<\/p>\n
Anyway.<\/p>\n
One of my favorite things was when the Muzak would play “It’s My Party” and then “It’s Judy’s Turn to Cry.” Those songs are amazing! You really feel the narrator’s heartache in “It’s My Party” and then her triumph in “It’s Judy’s Turn to Cry”. I was trying to explain this to Stefania (old boss) a few weeks ago, how glad I am that Judy, that bitch!, got dumped right back. I mean, Johnny clearly is a loser not worth either girl, but that doesn’t mean that Judy deserves her.<\/p>\n
