Two things happened as a result of me saying that. First, I had a song created for me on the spot: Oh, Karen (tide). Sure, I’m prejudiced, but what’s not to like about a song with my name in it AND such funny lyrics that I couldn’t stop laughing out loud? The second thing that happened was proof that I was wrong about Karen not being a song title. Here’s my comeuppance: No songs about Karen, my ass: Karen- The National* Tunic (Song For Karen)—Sonic Youth Karen—Doves Karen, Don’t Stop Him—The Lady Vanishes I stand corrected. Karens everywhere now know their name is just as inspirational as all those over-used cliched girl names (you know who you are). Comments (0) | Permalink Page 1 of 1 pages
