The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Tito Puente, "Señor Burns" from Songs in the Key of Springfield (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: We instruct children, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." This is a lie, of course. Were we to be honest with children—which is not necessarily a course I would advise—we'd tell them, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but only words can truly hurt me."

"Wounds won't last long, but an insulting song
Burns will always carry with him,
So I settle my score on the salsa floor
With this vengeful Latin rhythm…"
