Is there any song out there that you could listen to over and over...

[LynneSin]

...and never ever get tired of it.

There is this one song from an Offenbach opera that I absolutely adore!!! Last night I finally found a place to download it off the net and I must have listed to it about 200000000 times (I had my player on continuous play). The song is Belle Nuit and it was also feature in the movie "Life is Beautiful".

Listening to it puts me in such a whimsical mood, like even at this ripe old age of 38 I could still find romance in my heart (and believe me, I'm the least romantic person in the world).

What song could you listen to over and over again?

4. turning japanese

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone-ranger
Everyone

That's why I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

[LynneSin]

5. Bonnie and Clyde by Serge, anything by Coltrane
