"Surf Rider" by The Lively Ones is the soundtrack to one of the wierdest workdays I ever had

I worked as a painter in the dorms to get through college. One day, I was tasked with going into the common area of a suite and painting over a very large mural someone had painted on the walls and ceiling. This was heartbreaking, as it was really a neat piece of student art. But, rules are rules. It was a very brightly colored thing, so it had to be KILZed. Well, the room wasn't ventilated well, so of course over time I got really swimmy in the head From those fumes, and started getting ill. I had to leave early that day. Moral of the story, DON'T USE THAT CRAP IN POOR VENTILATION EVER!

One of the students had gone off and left his stereo on, and it was stuck on "Surf Rider" by the Lively Ones. So, there I was sick and swimmy in the head, with that playing in the background, over and over and over, no way to turn it off. Man that was a weird day, but I still love that song in spite of it.
