The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
The Platters, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" from The Very Best of The Platters (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Should the title be "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" or "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"? The latter if "in" is a preposition, the latter if 'tis an adverb. Methinks "in" is an adverb in this case, modifying "gets." Yes? (It's been an age since I diagrammed a sentence.) Either way, "Smoke Gets [In/in] Your Eyes" is a whale of a song.
