I really hate the song "Music Box Dancer". Hated it a long time ago, and hate it still. Last night, I took a walk up to the post office and on the way back, nightmare occurs. It's an ice cream truck playing "Music Box Dancer".

You have to understand, it's three blocks away from me, and I've got maybe a 20-minute walk back. Not as if it's a car and it can pass you by quickly. It's on its route, practically crawling along and begging for customers, basically torturing me. Slowly. Then, it continues slowly down that street, ever so close. I can hear it, but can't get a visual on it. Finally, it disappears before I walk into traffic.
