I was OVERWHELMED by the response to my Birthday Jam ( Ramones ) and now, I dedicate this jam to the TIMJ Faithful as a big thank you.
SO, why choose this coy little tune for you? Well because,...(A) it's one of the sweetest songs I've heard where "sweet" means truly charming and NOT sickly saccharin....and (B) because "100, 000 fireflies" is my vision of everyone on TIMJ.....100,000 tiny specks of dazzling light trying hard to illuminate this sometimes-Grey world of ours.
Well, it's worked for me so far............thank you all.

"Why do we still live here / In this repulsive town? / All our friends are in New York" :)
I judge that it is almost exactly ten years since I first met my good chum @thesunneversets, who introduced me to this song. Happy freniversary! (Yes, yes, it probably appears on This Is My Jam every day - take it up with him!)
