"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

I was sitting in the Nuclear Medicine department of a hospital today, waiting to be given radioactive iodine (that I'm hoping will give me superpowers - perhaps X-ray vision?) for a thyroid scan.  The television in the waiting room was tuned into The Today Show.  I was trying to read my new book, but I'm a sucker for human interest stories.  They started telling the story of a woman named Sara Adair, a woman who battled what life threw at her with humor and music.  The story is very good and you should definitely watch the video all the way through, but since we are discussing the curse of Oz, allow me to get to the point.  Of all the songs they could sing to the baby in the clip, what do they choose?  Not Kenny Loggins singing about Winnie-the-Pooh, not a gentle lullaby.  No.  "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."  Of course.

I went back to reading my book.
