It came on my favorite radio station, and I changed the channel to my second favorite radio station. They, too, were playing Ballerina Girl. I changed it to my station of last resort: Ballerina Girl.

So when I want to hear it, I just listen to the Gwen McCrae version. At least she knows how to stay in tune. I just remember, when I was in junior high, I hated Ballerina Girl.

Nothing in this world will ever convince me that the song isn't vile.

As to Please Don't Go, I actually like the song without liking either of the most popular versions of that song at all. So when I want to hear it, I just listen to the Gwen McCrae version. At least she knows how to stay in tune.

That would explain the Branford shout-out, or how she got on such a much-hyped show, depending on the timing. Wasn't Shanice on the first episode of Leno, along with Billy Crystal?
