Up, Up and Away
At some point in the last few days, sitting at the dinner table, I was looking out the window. I was focusing somewhere above the Sears tower, though nowhere in particular, glassing over. My girlfriend, Emily, wondered where I was, and I explained that I had gotten my head lost in the song "Up, Up and Away," and explained that I couldn't help but make that song segue into "Pacific Coast Highway" by Burt Bacharach. I sang some of it ("Up, Up and Away") for her, and she assumed I was making it up (not an unsafe assumption on her part, I have a bit of a habit of making up ridiculous songs to torture her). So I retreated to the internet for verification, and came across this treasure.
Ladies and gentlemen: The Fifth Dimension.
Embrace the ruffled necks.

Arrrrgh, no I don't want to ride up, up and away in a beautiful balloon! Get out of my head!!!
Wait - is that woman wearing a see-thru plastic dress? Looks like she got tangled up in a shower curtain.
You can have the shower curtain clad crooners, I've only got eyes for the portly fellow sporting the fluffy frosting shirt.
Incidentally, it's my new favorite balloon-related song!
I woke up this morning with this song STILL PLAYING IN MY HEAD.
ARRRRGH!
