The happiest farewell song in the world
It's Back to Work time at Stuck in the '80s after a long and much-needed holiday with the Vegas Girlfriend. So permit me time to wallow around in playlist mode before my first real post of the day. I just need a pick-me-up song about saying goodbye, if one even exists. Oh wait, there's this one...
Wow, okay now I'm ready for work. Thank you, Pogues!
