songs i love because of some whimsical little lyrical tidbit that sticks out:

• The Magnetic Fields, “Reno Dakota”: “You know you enthrall me and yet you don’t call me / It’s making me blue / Pantone 292.”
• Cracker, “Guarded by Monkeys”: “I heard about you / I got your PGP key / I write you letters every day.”
• The Beta Band, “Eclipse”: “…so no pizza for them!”
