Today's Song of the Day

Make 'em Say Uhh, Master P, 1997

I was down for the count with Covid this week. Three days completely lost, then two more days of suffering and I'm still not well. I had Covid once before but this was worse -- way way worse. "Uhh. Na, nah na nah."

My trauma response to most challenges includes repeating an odd phrase or random song lyric. Master P's "Uhh. Na, nah na nah" is my go-to comfort phrase when I'm feeling sickly and it has been for almost 30 years now. Is that weird?

I was never much of a Master P fan but I crossed paths with his super creepy talking doll back in 98. IYKYK. I worked at a music store in the mall that holiday season and we had this one talking Master P doll in stock -- he was like our mascot. We hid him around the store and waited for the right chance to make him say uhh.

The doll's "Uhh. Na, nah na nah" was kind of like Roll Tide -- ya know, good for any sentiment/good to rally the troops. Over time, "Uhh. Na, nah na nah" became my personal lament when I feel super bad.

Be well, everyone! Happy Saturday!
