The idea for this song came from an article on thescope.ca that profiled Dan Aykroyd and his skull vodka, which is made from Newfoundland and Labrador iceberg water. As soon as I saw the title of the article, I had the chorus, and knew that I…

Start the day
Like you do
Get up and at 'em
Hit the road
No redo
It is your anthem

Day is done
Head hits the pillow

Poor Jan. Personally I thought she had surpassed Marcia in hotness by the final season. But being the middle child, naturally nobody noticed.

Sitting across this table I feel like a million miles…
