a good title indeed, but it would be a lot better if george jones hadn't already done (the equally unparenthesized) "feeling single, seeing double" a decade earlier. i'm all for borrowing and stealing in music, but stealing someone else's joke is a bit unseemly. (yeah yeah, i know comedians do it all the time, and it's standard operating procedure, and all that. but something just seems weird about a songwriter grabbing another songwriter's pun like that.)
(neither gary nor george wrote either song, they just sang 'em, for whatever that's worth. and it seemed important to add this so, even if i wasn't discussing a song title in parentheses, at least my answer would be mostly in parentheses.)

Man, I just keep finding a whole lot of these this morning with no effort at all- by accident in fact, without any clicking and reloading- using this amazingly fast random access technology called "a book." It is quite an old technology from what I understand- this "book" I have is from 1985. I believe they had something called "proofreading" back in those days, which means any mistakes I make must have been introduced by me.
