Tori Amos - Mr. Zebra

Mamihlapinatapai is a word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the “most succinct word”, and is considered one of the hardest words to translate. It describes “a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.” (via Martin)

HOLY AMNESIAC CLIFFHANGER, BATMAN!

William Shatner - Common People

Suck it, Pulp.

You know you look so good
You know you got me goin’ now,
Just like I knew you would.
