Apropos of actually nothing

this is the song that's been running in my head nonstop the past few days. I'm pretty sure it's not some sort of sad subconscious commentary on the state of the world, I think it's just stuck on a loop.

The earworm I'm currently running is "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight". I've always loved this song; it seems like a perfect illustration of "one day at a time". You don't say you're never going to give up, just that you're not going to give up today.

The suit ad thing is from last year; I remember seeing it at the time. I think it's a brilliant example of trope inversion and pointy social commentary.
