A short anecdote, or "To the left, to the left..."

I was hopelessly behind in pop music when I got back to the States...I'm still not paying that much attention to it yet, but I digress. Anyway, because of that, the first time I was introduced to Beyonce's "Irreplacable" was because my mom was lamenting having the song stuck in her head. My mom, now. She definitely doesn't do BET or VH1 or whatever. She heard it one time when Beyonce was on the Today show and couldn't stop singing it. I thought she was kidding, but then she would start singing it under her breath without realizing it. There is just something inherently hilarious about my sweet, loving mommy singing in her sweet, gentle voice as she looks for clothesline in K-Mart, "You must not know 'bout me, you must not know 'bout me..."

I think that's one of the reasons I like the song. Cause I didn't like it when I first heard it.

That and it worms through your brain like a cancer after about the fourth listen...but hey, that's my song now. :D
