I hate Randy Newman.

A friend and I wrote a list of karaoke faux pas on a napkin at a restaurant one night. Singing a Newman song topped the list.

Then, while listening to NPR recently, I heard an interview with Newman. And he sang Real Emotional Girl. He sang: "every little thing you tell her, she'll believe."

He was singing about me.

I fall in love, I get my heart broken, and I cry all the time.

And I can't hate Randy Newman anymore.
