Don't you just hate certain songs? When I was growing up, there was a singing duo named "Paul and Paula" who came out with a song called, "Hey, Paula."
For years I hated that song because it totally embarrassed me. Why? Guess what my first name is? Yeah... made famous by that song. When you're in the 4th grade, this is totally humiliating!
Then there was this ditty..
In the seventh grade I had my first two piece swimming suit. We're not talking bikini here, but a fairly modest, high-neck top with ruffles to make up for the fact that I had no boobs and shorts-type pants. Unfortunately, it was yellow with white polka dots. And of course the first time I wore it, my mother started singing a certain song. Yep... what I thought was going to look really awesome was now a total embarrassment. Talk about being afraid to come out of the water...
I've been self-conscious in a bathing suit ever since!
