I’m ANGRY! Angry because

  • Some idiot decided to revive one of the most awful songs of the ’70s, “Rock Me Gently,” for a car commercial.
  • Not only do I still remember every awful word and chord change of this piece of tripe in the space in my brain that should be reserved for remembering my mother’s birthday, but I even still remember who sang it, a one-hit wonder named Andy Kim. (Note: If you’re going to have two first names, make them both decidedly butch.)
  • This song became so stuck in my head during today’s otherwise wonderful bike ride to North Chatham that only a determined double-shot wall of sound from The Crystals, “He’s a Rebel” and “Da Doo Ron Ron,” could possibly keep it out.
  • Until something even worse got lodged in there — probably inexplicable if you’re not a Howard Stern listener: The Bleeding Deacons’ version of I’m A Gay Papa. If you click the link, I’m not responsible.
For the record, Angry Buffalo is the stuffed animal responsible for getting my younger daughter out of bed on mornings when she’d prefer not to. He does this through a lot of stomping and shorting and grunting out “Angry Buffalo!” and then he charges and pulls her covers off. Sometimes if she’s being tricky, he’ll find out she’s already dressed and just wanted to tease the buffalo.
