Ray of light ray of light ray of light ray of light

When I was a student in Oxford I lived with a friend of mine, Dominic, who was something of a music aficionado. In our second year when we lived in Bullingdon Road I remember him being disgusted by the fact that I used to put Madonna’s Ray of Light song on continuous play. I thought it was a brilliant song and was quite happy to listen to it 10 or 15 times in a row. Today the shoe was on the other foot and I felt how I imagine Dominic must have felt over 10 years ago....on our way to Orthez (1 hour) Maxime insisted on the repeat play of his favourite children’s song “j’ai mange tout le chocolate, j’ai bu tout le coca cola”. As if that wasn't enough punishment to cleanse my philistine soul, Maxime then decided that we would listen to his second favourite song all the way back. I was subject to constant cries of “encore canard, encore canard, encore canard” (roughly translated as “again duck, again duck, again duck”), as soon as I had the misfortune that the song came to an end.
