People have been asking about my morning playlist, and Kenny Loggins’ I’m Alright from the 1980 classic Caddyshack is one of the few songs that helps me wake up and feel ready to strap on another day.
As my job and life centers around movies, my playlists tend to reflect the kind of songs that perfectly fit a film scene I recall. (On another note, isn’t it interesting that two of my favorite Bill Murray movies have him battling a rodent? And yes, gophers and groundhogs are both in the family Rodentia.)
With no further idle thoughts, here’s the world’s most famous dancing gopher in his movie debut, followed by the lyrics of this jaunty little tune:

I admit the I love the sound of the water sprinklers sounding like a shaker instrument as the film opens over the quiet morning’s golf fields. That sort of creativity makes me strangely happy.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

The Caddyshack lyrics to sing along to:
I’m Alright
(As sang by Kenny Loggins)
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
Don’t nobody worry ’bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me be
Doing it nat’rally
But if it’s too easy
They’re gonna disagree
And isn’t it a mystery
If it’s nobody’s bus’ness
It’s everybody’s gameGotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away
(Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)I’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
Don’t nobody worry ’bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me beWho do you want?
Who you be today?
And who is it really
Makin’ up your mind?You want to listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood…
Listen to your
Own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’Don’t it get you movin’
mmmmm-man
It make me feel good
Then give it up and give it the job
I’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
I’m alright
Don’t nobody worry ’bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me be
I’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
I’m alright
I’m alright
Just let me be…
