-- Violent Femmes.

Every day, in every way
It's getting better and better and better and better and better and...
because there is no fear, here
i'm running through the fields if i could just jump a little bit higher
cuz i'm free and i'm happy
i'm free from your hatred, i departed from the part
that i participated in, cuz i'm free.

88. "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" -- Jackie Wilson

-- briania (lyriclas...), December 22nd, 2004.

Seconded: Remember "Ghostbusters II"? The only thing that stopped Vigo the Carpathian was the sheer joyousness of "Higher and Higher". I remember this well, because this was the highwatermark of us Carpathians' bid for world domination. Damn you, Venkman.
