There are two reasons to use this song for MM:
1) I pulled together a bunch of 80s music (among others) for Kim yesterday, so it was on my list.
2) In honor of my next-door neighbors, whose driveway spotlight/security light was on ALL FUCKING NIGHT last night. Doesn’t sound so bad, except it’s pointed right at my bedroom window, and I could have pretty much laid in bed with all the lights off and still read my fucking book at any given moment.

Okay, this is a little ironic, they just played this song this morning on my way in to work and the deejay made me laugh when he joked that he much preferred Ray Charles’ version of the song because he felt that Ray really meant it…
Doh.
Now that’s some funny shit.
