It was working for me at that exact moment of polka! Polka, hooray!
I was skeptical about the idea, but it has worked out well on most shows so far. (Well, one unnamed DJ was playing some horrible vile drivel earlier, but then he's *always* playing crappy vinyl from landfills anyway.) Maybe not this one. Hmmm. I'm going back and forth. I hope for reams of new sounds next week to counter all the oldies.

Sorry Parq, I wasn't being clear enough. I mean the kind of horrible vile drivel that isn't funny or amusing. I mean the kind of horrible vile drivel that makes your soul bleed. Like bathing in excrement-flavored acid. Not the kind of hilarious drivel that Irwin plays. That's different.

yeah, I'm well aware of Wikipedia's lameness, I've seen no shortage of errors and misinfo there. The spider entry is kind of an amusing read tho, especially the bit about the spider as Sisyphian absurdist metaphor. Oh, and other variations are footnoted:
Or "Incey Wincey" or "Teensy Weensy" or "Inky Pinky".
Inky Pinky!?!?! Seriously? On what planet?
