The Brain Dump

I have entered a new phase of awesome in my life. Before now, I had to rely on other people to figure out songs so I could look them up, unless they were ridiculously simple. But today, yes--this day!--I figured out my first pop song! It was a Chinese song, which was really the reason I had to figure it out on my own, as finding chords for doodle songs . . . wasn't happening. This is pretty exciting for me, even if it is a pathetically simple victory. I'm really proud of myself anyway. . . .

And since I'm so proud of myself, I thought I would share my awesomeness with you, along with a translation of the pop-a-licious lyrics as best as I can translate/look up. I have created a new category on my blog in the hope that I will continue to figure out songs for myself. I guarantee no kind of regularity. But without further ado . . . I give you:
