Seriously, people?

"Ben" is the theme song from a horror movie. About a *killer RAT.*

And this came into the conversation because....?

Apparently Ben the rat was friendly to the boy in the movie-- can't say I saw it, but that song did get a lot of airplay back in 1972, when I was in junior high and Michael Jackson was still black.

I (born in 1967) didn't recognize "Ben" at all, but my husband (born in 1963) knew it well.

It was sung as a song of love and devotion on Glee last night. And yeah, there was apparently a very touching bond between a boy and his homicidal (but not towards him) rodent.

I was probably not meant to get the giggles during that scene last night.
