Today's Song of the Day

Let Me Clear My Throat, DJ Kool ft. Biz Markie & Doug E. Fresh

Thank you, universe. I love a good multi-purpose earworm. "Let me clear my throat," literally, was my first waking thought this a.m. The "thought" was in the form of this iconic intro and I'm OK with starting my day that way. Sure, I coughed all night and feel a little icky-- boo to this crazy weather y'all -- but this little ditty pushing me to do this day makes everything OK.

Raise your hand if you hear this song and feel inspired to live your best life. Yes, that's me -- I'm a clover. You're a clover. We're all clovers, y'all. Absolutely! Let's see if my clover energy opens the door and invites my crazy work world to bring it on. IYKYK. Let me clear my throat. OK, ready -- go!

It's funny, I never simmered on it before but this song is filled with some stellar one-liners. It IS that old school rap, y'all, and I'm here for it. "Are y'all tired, yet? Are y'all ready to quit?" You're so funny, universe. I am tired and ready to quit but you're right -- I don't need nobody to help me handle my business. Let me clear my throat.

Clear your throat and be your best clover selves. Turn it up, Monday, and bring it on. Here we go now.
