Song rec and Castle spec

Drive-by song rec: "Little Romance," by Ingrid Michaelson. I think it's interesting for two reasons: One, it's rare to see such aggressive pursuit of a male subject by a female speaker in, you know, pop music, especially using fairly gendered expressions like "I will sweep...you off your feet." Two, I like the way both the lyrics and music start out kind of light and flippant, with lines like, "I see you styled that hair / There doesn't seem to be much of it there," and the idea of both subject and speaker being "in the mood" for a non-specific "little romance," and yet a certain sincerity overwhelms the song by the last third, when the music and Michaelson's delivery swells at "If it's the only chance I get / If it's the only chance then get / Ready to throw your shoes away / For I will sweep, sweep, sweep / You off your feet." And in the last verse, speaker and subject are no longer in the mood for general "romance," but rather, as the speaker puts it, "I'm in the mood for you / You're in the mood for me."

Plus the song is damn catchy. Like, "downloaded it yesterday evening and already iTunes says I've played it 157 times," kind of catchy.
