song obsessions update

i've really been obsessing over one song at a time, and right now its mostly mr. blue sky. curse you random episode of dr. who!

• Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky
• Pat Benatar - We Belong
• Kylie Minogue - I Should Be So Lucky

I was going to call this song obsessions update - pure pop edition, but really it's songs I heard on the TV edition. We Belong is on some hotel commercial, and I Should Be So Lucky figured in a pretty funny French and Saunders sketch I saw.

SHAKE SHACK == LOVE
