CTY

[rivkat]

Anyone out there go to CTY? I recently saw it mentioned on a nerd purity test, which reminded me of my many good experiences there. I went to law school with a woman who recognized me from CTY, though I with my terrible memory for names and faces was useless. (There must be a good latinate term for that, like facialnomial memory or something.)

Anyway, one year I was there, I heard a song at a talent show, the basics of which have stayed with me to this day. It was called Checkup to My Heart, and it was about a dentist:

...That's what the fact is,
You'll be a dentist with a private practice
I want to be the only one who's on your dental chart
Let me in your office
Give a checkup to my heart
(Doot, doot, doo doo doo doot)

I would love to find some other person who remembers this, but even if I'm the only one, at least it's been preserved for posterity.

My back is killing me. I don't know why.

No idea about the identity. Haven't thought of it in years til you posted the lyrics, and have no idea whether it was an original composition or made up for the talent show.

I was at Dickinson, but for two years in a row, no idea when it was. And I spent most of my time playing some weird version of D&D, so it sounds like we didn't run in the same circles.
