I imagine Mr. Regular trying to add this song to a music playlist, but instead, in a tired haze, added this to the Season 22 playlist of RCR by mistake.
@altothex9648
If RCR hadn’t added this by mistake I’d never have found it. Thank you sir.
@RexcorJ
This is as not regular as you can get, but I like it! Thanks, Mr. Regular!
