It’s another CONTEST!
But! You don’t win anything tangible! Just my undying love forever and ever.
You guys, SERIOUSLY. Please help me. I need you to inform me of every single song, phrase, quote or whatever that contains the word “world” in it. It’s for a super top secret project and I would be indebted to you forever.
FOREVER. We are the world, man.

April 8, 2008 at 9:45 pmOh, the shame of even knowing this one: Paris Hilton sings a song called “Nothing in This World”.
How ’bout Duran Duran’s Ordinary World? Or the group Jimmy Eat World? There’s Matchbox 20’s Real World, Air Supply’s Two Less Lonely People in the World, Police with Spirits in the Material World (and Madonna is a Material Girl living in a material world).
Goodness. I could keep going forever. Didn’t notice a lot of quotes with “world” so I’ll stop with William Blake’s :To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.”

Lyric in song, “Woman in chains” by Tears for Fears

Arrested Development — my husband says during the intro track on Zingalamaduni, Speech says, “World party is officially on, brothers and sisters get your tape deck ready.”
P.S. Hope you were able to effectively complain to Wito’s caregivers…and I hope you can find a place you can trust. (Might you consider reporting the incident?) We love Montessori — we’ve found a real balance at our daughter’s school.
