What Was That Song? Boss and I had a rather typical conversation yesterday. She was asking me some trivia questions pertaining to what I call pop culture for lack of a better description. I don�t retain any information about movies, actors/actresses, current singers, etc. I know what I like and that�s good enough for me. Here�s that. (Boss:) Did you see the movie �Somewhere in Time�? (CI:) Uh, no. I read the book though. (Yeah, back in high school more that 20 years ago.) (Boss:) It was a great movie. Anyway, who played opposite Christopher Reeves? (CI:) Uh, I don�t know. I read the book. (Boss:) Oh, I remember. It was Jane Seymour. But, what was the theme song of that movie? (CI:) Uh, I don�t know. The book didn�t come with a soundtrack. (Boss:) Oh please. You know what it was. Think about it. You know, it was that really beautiful song. (CI:) Okay. (Boss:) (Looking at me like I�m a complete idiot.) I�m gonna call Colleague; he�ll know. (Dialing Colleague on the speakerphone.) (CI:) Oh yeah, I�m sure HE�LL know! (Colleague:) Yes Boss? (Boss:) Did you see the movie �Somewhere in Time�? (Colleague:) No. (Boss:) Oh, you should see that movie with your wife. It�s really good and romantic and you guys would like it. Anyway, what was the theme song of that movie? (Colleague:) Uh, �Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head�? (Boss:) (Sounding disgusted.) No, that�s not it. It�s a classical song. Like Chopin but not him. (Colleague:) �Sitting on the Dock of the Bay�? (Boss:) No. Now I remember. It was �Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini� by Rachmaninoff.
