Back in the day, I went to the local YMCA for exercise. The exercise area was an area off the pool area.
Between sets I used to wander out to the pool area and talk with the lifeguard on duty.
One thing I noticed, as we were talking, he always had his eyes focused upon the people in the pool. He did not look at me. I admired him for that.
At one point, he showed me the clipboard that the lifeguards used while on duty.
Written by a lifeguard on that clipboard was the quoted song title, "Haunted When The Minutes Drag."
The song has stuck in my mind since then ...

... Selling shoes Another loser working in a shopping mall 9 to 5 A slave driver telling me "Get on the ball!" A crowded store I kneel before them Misery beyond compare Sweaty socks A lady boxer What's she got against fresh air? I want an ocean and some sunscreen lotion Take me to the beach with a thousand pretty girls in reach CHORUS I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help) I, I, I wanna guard your life ...
CHORUS I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help) I, I, I wanna guard your life ...

OK, not posting a tune in this comment, but saying something that may be apropos ...
I notice that for some of the songs that i upload to my youtube account, there are copyright restrictions.
Not a surprise. When the restriction is severe, I just delete the uploaded video and move on. Youtube seems to be happy with that approach.
But then, occasionally, I'll upload a song and see a moderated copyright notice. It has always stated that the music video I just uploaded is not viewable in Belarus or Russia, and asks if I am OK with that.
I say "yes."
But curious that there are music publishing companies "out there" who do not want their music heard in Russia or Belarus.
If I were more curious about it, I'd dig in and see who they are, but not tonight ...

Songs you will never hear on commercial radio ...
Exude - Boys Just Want to Have Sex (1984) (extended version) www.youtube.com
Yeah, I first heard that tune on the local college station.
It's a great parody of the Cyndi Lauper song.
