Despite (or perhaps because of?) it’s inane lyrics and contrived catchiness, Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” lives comfortably atop my guilty pleasures list. (Admit it, you can’t help from singing along: You had a bad day, the cameras don’t lie….) But, although that song seemed to be all the Top 40 rage last summer, it had kind of fallen out of my life… until recently.
You see, I’ve taken to listening to the XM radio that comes through my Direct TV… and it seems like everytime I turn it on I hear “Bad Day.” And I’m not even exaggerating, it’s every time, almost every day, sometimes twice in the span of a few hours. And really, that’s been fine by me, because every time I stop whatever I’m doing to flail around my living room, sing at the top of my lungs, and scare the crap out of my cats.
But today things have gone too far. After hearing “Bad Day” at least once last night, I got in the car this afternoon and it was playing on the station I was tuned to. And just now, I got to the Bucks Co. Coffee in Manayunk, to do some focused work (see how well that’s working out), and what’s pumping through Bux’s sound system? My man, Daniel Powter. It’s un-freakin’ canny? I mean, seriously, I really think he’s following me. And right now it’s *just* following, but if I hear him one more time today, he’ll have crossed the line into stalking. And I wish he wouldn’t, because the infatuation and fun are fading the more I’m overwhelmed with the song and how bad it really is.
no! don’t look him in the eyes, him and his you-got-it-goin’-on pointed fingers. he’ll eat your soul and even this music snob may not be able to save you from his clutches. and yes, daniel, the cameras, they totally lie.
if the camera’s don’t lie, as he’d have us believe, then this picture proves that he’s a scary, scary man!
i think i’m going to start posing like that for all of my pictures. new rockin’ yeah-you-got-it meagan. oh yeah clearly it’s working out well for him and i expect nothing less for me!
