Fun fact: My car radio has a 16-character display limit, so if "I Believe In Father Christmas" plays on it it displays as "I Believe In Fat". Other great examples include "If I Were A Carp", "Papa's Got A Bra", and "Build Me Up Butt".

Yeah, the appeal of the Carpenters for me is largely in the warm coziness of Karen's voice but that doesn't really shine in a by-the-numbers oldies cover like PMP.

The very boring way I got so into 60s music started in 2013 when I learned to drive for college, as the 60s channel was my parents' default and I liked what I heard. Basically listening to decades radio stations while driving has been my go-to crash course on pop education. My mom's very knowledgeable about 60s pop so it's been great mother-daughter bonding

I never heard that one before this round, so I gave it the cursory listen before I started voting. Not listening to it again.

The panda nads are hidden now. Takes me back to the good ole days where a post was typically hidden for spamming cartoon porn rather than espousing fascism
