151. "Veronica" by Mary Kai [iTunes? Yes]
There's been a lot of talk about this next song. Perhaps too much talk. This is not a rebel song. This is a song about a pig. A sad little pig. And her name is Veronica.
Yes, this is a children's song. It has been sung at our house quite often, especially the opening line: "Hey, Veronica, why are you so sad?"
And here's something I noticed when I had a daughter, named her Veronica, then did an iTunes search for songs with "Veronica" in the title. The vast majority of songs that have the name Veronica somewhere in the lyrics attempt, at some point, to rhyme "Veronica" with "harmonica."
(Special shout out to Elvis Costello for bucking that trend.)
