So, I was just singing along to my summer soundtrack today, when everything went wrong. True to summer form, I was bumping some Jack Johnson, and halfway through the lyric “…makin’ Banana Pancakes, pretend like it’s the weekend”, I started accidentally going off on a musical AdventureTime tangent (“makin’ bacon pancakes…”) And then, my thoughts went haywire from there.
