I have something to confess.
In somewhere like second grade, Mrs. Farmer had us play a game where each flip form got a word and then had to think of a song that contained it in the lyrics, like "red" or "bridge." My group got "grass," and obviously we were going to lose. Until I piped up about a song called "The Grass Is Always Greener (on the Other Side of the Fence)," and we got the point.
It wasn't actually a song.
I just sang those words to "Just a Spoonful of Sugar (Makes the Medicine Go Down)."
Those fake lyrics get stuck in my head far too often, possibly out of guilt, or merely a testament to my godlike lyricisms.
To my fans, I'm sorry.

Horrifyingly, I had to play that game in Mrs. Farmer's class in fourth grade. Our word was "cherry." So I sang the first song that came to mind, the only one I knew with cherry... to quote Warrant: "She's my cherry pie, cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise..."
THEY SHOULD NOT ALLOW THAT GAME.
