The night before taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test in high school, I worked at my part-time job as a short-order cook. I had a hard time getting to sleep, and I woke up the next morning exhausted, hearing a certain then-recent song playing on the radio.
I drove myself with my then-recent license to the next town over, where the SAT was being given. That damn stupid song kept running through my mind the entire time I took the test! This is that song.
How about some more of Petula Clark in Goodbye, Mr. Chips? About 18 minutes more.

Previously on DogRat.com, I featured a video with a brief glimpse of Petula Clark at the infamous 1969 LennOno “bed-in.” The New Musical Express in England is reporting that a DVD of the complete recording session, Give Peace A Song, is being released at the end of the month. NME says…
‘Give Peace a Song’ also features over 35 minutes of bonus material including television interviews, a John and Yoko press conference and Petula Clark’s visit to the bed-in.
This is confusing, because Amazon.com lists the DVD as having been released in 2006. One of the DVD chapters is “Petula Clark Visits The Bed-In.”
I don’t know if the NME item is something old that was posted in error, nor do I know how much footage there is of Pet on the DVD, but it sounds like a video worth seeing.
The junky old fiberglass panels are gone forever! There’s a real roof there, at last. You can see where the skylights will be.

FiOS TV 2.0 has added the ability to DVR the Music Choice channels like any other station. Yay! As I said yesterday, the functional enhancements are nice. Two more I would like to see are enabling the A/V inputs — I want to route my LD player through the DVR — and turning on the USB ports so users can add storage.
I continue to be down on the new user interface. I much prefer the old one. Especially annoying is the Favorites function. It always starts at the same spot in the channel list, instead of the station you’re on, and it no longer wraps around from the end to the beginning. Extremely annoying!
