<p>i LOVE Parks and Rec &#8211; new favourite series and gobbled the whole thing up towards the end of last year by myself as it was the one show i started watching without Val [who had Downton Abbey, White Collar, Weeds, Grey&#8217;s and so on by herself while i was busy doing other stuff] and it just got better and better.</p>
<p>the two characters that annoyed me the most in the first season became the highlight for me &#8211; Ron Swanson and Andy Dwyers &#8211; altho the show works for me cos each character is so solid&#8230; but those two are so brilliantly written and acted and just get stronger all the time&#8230;</p>
<p>and now tbV has started watching it so i get to do the whole thing over again and the other night we watched the episode where Andy plays &#8220;The Pit&#8221; song with his ever-changing-band-name band which ends that episode as &#8216;Mouse Rat&#8217; and the song has completely stuck in my head and so i had to share it with you&#8230; [this will be meaningless and horrible if you don&#8217;t watch &#8216;Parks and Rec&#8217; in which case START WATCHING PARKS AND REC people!] </p>
<p>maybe not everyone&#8217;s cup of Nachtmusik but that&#8217;s okay&#8230;</p>
<p>if you&#8217;re a fan and want a trip down memory lane, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vMpfbuI9FY">take a listen to Mouse Rat and &#8216;The Pit&#8217;</a></p>
<p>who is your favourite character and why?</p>
