CATCHY TUNE OF THE DAY. “Paris Hilton,” the first single from the new Los Angeles band Citizens for a Better America. This was posted on YouTube about six months ago but has just jumped back into circulation. Warning: You’ll be humming the refrain all afternoon.

I love all the shots of regular Angelenos in the video.
