I don't get it, what's the hang up with that song title?
The other day, I was in a conversation with a group at work. I said
"wouldn't be neat if we could... A twenty something coworker asked "
did you say neat? To which I answered "totally."

Using slang often has drawbacks. You can identify yourself as in a
momentarily "in" group, only to find your expression hopelessly out of
date in a short time. None of this is news to most of you, but it
strikes me as most unfortunate that the otherwise beautiful, lyrically
and musically literate, Fran Landesman/Tommy Wolf song, "Spring Can
Really Hang You Up the Most," is rendered a period piece because of
its title line, which only appears after all the rest of the
sensitive, sophisticated, and expressive song, lyrics and all, have
made a different and more durable impression. There's a lesson there.
