It was an article about the band <a href="http://www.somethingawful.com/d/your-band-sucks/they-might-be.php" rel="nofollow">They Might Be Giants</a> that I read a few years ago. In the middle of the article is the phrase "...which featured plenty of re-worked versions of Dial-a-Song detritus.", which got lodged in my brain, mostly, I think, due to the fact that I had no idea what "detritus" meant until I read this fine post of yours.Bryan Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607046468663026271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-31500457111291767542012-07-12T23:01:18.756-06:002012-07-12T23:01:18.756-06:00You will let me know when you remember, won't ...You will let me know when you remember, won't you?Brent Wescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313269993916969201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-14454804338553664742012-07-12T23:00:53.371-06:002012-07-12T23:00:53.371-06:00You found some very funny honey?
