"The wife and I are having trouble in our relationship, so I put an ad on CL looking for something on the side. One important quality she should have is a distaste for yoga. Funny thing is, someone answered the ad, and it turned out to be my wife. Instead of putting the last nail in the coffin of our relationship, we had a little laugh. Gee, I never knew she liked pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain."

Interestingly, the same guy, Rupert Holmes, wrote this song - "Timothy" by The Buoys about a questionable tale. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaZkQelQCBI |

|  | FenderBassMan40 | | | | | Hang on wait. It's "do you like piña coladas?"
I always thought it was "do you like bean enchiladas!"
I kid. I must admit I do Consider that song a guilty pleasure. I can't help it. It just cracks me up too much. |

I would wager if someone measured the duration that she hits the same basic note in "I-I-I (will) ALWAYS (love) YOU.. I-I-I...(etc.)" throughout the whole song they would find it last LONGER than the whole song.

| | | | I disagree with several of the songs on the list. They aren't my most favorite songs in the world, but I wouldn't mind hearing them again (the ones with which I disagree, that is). Thank goodness none of Adele's songs are included on the list.
