“You Took Me to Your Library and Kissed Me in the Stacks”

At one point in their lives, everybody in the GalleyCat audience had a crush on a librarian. To help literary types cope with these feelings, Flavorwire compiled a list of “10 Best Songs About Libraries and Librarians”

The list contains some great tunes, from “There She Goes, My Beautiful World” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to “Fun Fun Fun” by The Beach Boys to “Swinging London” by The Magnetic Fields (quoted in our headline). What are your favorites? Add them in the comments for a future post.

Here’s an excerpt: “So you’re laid up in bed with the flu like everyone else, with nothing to do but chug Emergen-C, ride the NyQuil train, and gaze glassy-eyed at hours of DVRed shows that you’d usually let languish. It’s time for a new playlist! When even keeping your eyes open starts to hurt, queue up this nerdy mixtape and zonk out to the best in library-inspired jams.”
