Songs of the Day (3/9/06)

To make things a little more fun I thought I would share some material inspired by another member of the newsroom.

Alan Jenkins, the managing editor here, is known to randomly break into song. I'm not sure why. He might have a medical condition. I'll be sitting at my desk working and *BAM* he's starring in his own musical. It's hard to ignore but I must admit that it adds much ... entertainment value ... to the job.

I have a list growing but here are the top 5 songs performed in the newsroom thus far:

#5: Jim Croce - I’ve Got a Name (1973)
Maybe someday I'll have a handlebar mustache too.
*Crosses fingers*

#4: Bob Marley - I Shot the Sheriff (1973)
No offense to the Marley family but I honestly believe Bob Marley's hair smelled horrible. I mean, look at it. It clearly went without regular washing.

#3: Billy Paul - Me and Mrs. Jones (1973)
Hey Alan, what's with this love affair with 1973?

#2: Madonna - This Used to be My Playground (1992)
From everybody's favorite film, "A League of Their Own".

#1: Tiny Tim - Tiptoe Through the Tulips (1968)
Seriously, this guy has always creeped me out.
I might even have a Tiny Tim phobia now that I think about it.

I'm sure there will be many, many more performances so stay tuned as the list grows.
