My parents are coming tomorrow, and I have tons of cleaning to do, that damned dress to finish, and our whole family to get to the doctor since we\u2019ve all been in various stages of coughing\/hacking\/dying\/whining\/eschewing melodrama all weekend.<\/p>\n

But instead I\u2019m going to join Betty Beguiles<\/a>\u2018 love song link-up. I figured there would be an excess of Ella Fitzgerald over there, so I decided to bring the awesome. I\u2019m nothing if not a world-class procrastinator. (Oh, and if you hate watching YouTube videos, you might want to skip this post. Also, no, there\u2019s nothing wrong with Ella Fitzgerald, I just like my love songs with a little more rock and a little less roll.)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start things off right with Janis Joplin. I love this song. It\u2019s so sad and sweet and wonderful:<\/p>\n
