Got my teeth cleaned today. And I have to share with you a curse that has haunted me nearly my entire life. You know how dentist offices always play the same [fucking terrible] Easy Listening music? Bad enough, right? Well, for as long as I can remember, I have been at the mercy of one particular Dental Office song: “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin.
