Over the weekend...

Over the weekend, I put laundry in my washing machine and turned it on. Then I went to bed. Got up the next morning to find that the washing machine was full of (a) my clothes and (b) dirty water.
*sigh* Youtube explained how to open the washing machine front. I removed the pump and took it in to the appliance store where they ordered me a new one. I installed the new one and now the washing machine is fixed. Go me.
In unrelated news, I had an idea for "bad song titles" where I give you bad song titles and you fix them. (I have the olds so I don't know any songs made after about 1990.)
Example: Assorted hits, very reasonable prices
Example: Sprinkle me with sucrose
Example: Habitual Speeder
Example: Insane Thomas
Example: Plum Precipitation
Want to play along? Leave a guess. Leave a bad song title for someone else to fix.

Millicent lass (You are allowed to stroke my tresses.)
Absence of ceiling (Too profound a gully does not exist, nor a summit too lofty.)
Can you explain deep affection to me? (Dear, please do not wound me. Do not wound me, not again!)
Cerulean (The sentiments that reside within me are azure)

Maybe Barbie Girl by Aqua?
What is Love by Haddaway?
Blue by Eiffel 65?
Additional lyrics totally helped but my European music exposure is... extremely weak and I basically stopped listening to music in approximately 1992. :)

I was tempted to go with some of Scooter's songs, but I assume that would be utterly alien to most of the US. "Return to the Commonwealth of Nations (United we are indomitable)" is just too ridiculous to not think of.
