[at-l] RE: Hiking Songs

    hehe, last time I went hiking I had "My Time" by Jane's Addiction stuck
in my head and couldn't stop singing it. Unfortunetly, I tend to get the
words wrong. "hmm hmm... my time.. let may be.. outsiiiiidddeeee under the
seals and it is FRIIIDDAAAYY yeah yeah yeah all over me", my hiking partner
was about to kill me.
    The most common song I get stuck in my head, though, is Tangled up in
Blue. I once spent 5 hours in the dark road walking to my car (I had ended
up on the wrong side of the park) mostly singing this song, after that it
kinda became one of my hiking theme songs.
