"Snort. I can't think of a worse song to have to listen to for 30 minutes. "

How 'bout

"Tea for two
and two for tea
and me for you
and you for me."

Here's a picture of what was going on in there for 30 mins while the song played over and over again:

No problem. I can go into a Fred Astaire image with that one. I can bounce off that and think of Rob and Laura - Fred Astaire said Dick Van Dyke was the best American dancer- great physical comedy. Then I can daydream about my senior prom - all without being interrupted by a horrible out of time (weird non-classical time signature) jingle designed to brainwash.

There is just so much more in music than we want to admit; we don’t know it because classical education went out of mode in the sixties.

From Wiki:

“Tea for Two” became a jazz standard and was recorded by numerous bands and instrumentalists. Early notable performances and a recording of the song were made by jazz virtuoso Art Tatum in 1939. Pianist Thelonious Monk knew the song well, reharmonizing the song and recording it with a bebop-style melody in 1952 with the name “Skippy” and returning to the original melody with a charming arrangement for his 1963 album Criss Cross. Anita O’Day’s rendition of the song at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival was considered one of the festival’s highlights.
