- There is a song from the musical "Where's Charlie?" that's called
- "Once in Love With Amy."

- At the end, the singer adds "I keep falling in and out of love with you."
- My son is absolutely hooked on this song--he has a friend named Amy,
- and her mom gave us a tape with this song on it. We have it in the
- car, and for about four months, he insisted on hearing it over and
- over--since our average car ride is 20 minutes long, I heard this song
- A LOT, let me tell you. And I still can't figure out some of the
- words!
-
- Luckily, he discovered that Raffi was on the other side of the tape.
- "Ain't it great to be crazy?" Well, better than hearing "Aimee" a
- million times a day!

-
- The nice thing about this song is that you can hear it a zillion times
- and not retch upon hearing it yet another time. It's not grating. I
- used to like it a lot, but now I just tolerate it!
