I like your song so much I am going to put it on my lawnmower mix. What is a lawnmower mix, you ask? Well, it is only my favorite mix on my iPod. It is the one I play when I mow the yard on my John Deere riding lawnmower. It is comprised of songs that I like to sing really loud. Also, they have to be fast because I speed like a demon, setting the knob-thingy on the Rabbit Setting. Even on the corners, baby. I'm mad like that.
Yes, my neighbors do smile along. They laugh and slow down to make the moment last. Which just demonstrates the power of your music. Especially since they can't even hear it.
Which makes me wonder if you or Pink or Barry Manilow had any inkling while writing your music that a doughy, short mama in the Midwest would be singing along at the top of her lungs, not caring if she gets a bug or a bit of grass in her mouth because your music is just so fun. Well, yes, Barry kind of counts on it. Good point. What? Totally! John Mayer too. That's funny. But he's not on my playlist.
In addition to the praise, I have two points I'd like to make:
1. With your odd acronym, it makes it difficult to follow conventional grammar rules when addressing you in writing. Do I leave the period and add a comma or exclamation? Leaving it off didn't seem right. Likewise at the end of a sentence. Please advise.
2. At my house, when I'm snapping at Moose, he doesn't seem as happy about it as you are when girls are snapping at you. Maybe I'm not doing it right. I'd welcome any advice.
Thanks, B. o. B., I appreciate your time.

I had to look him up. I refuse to listen to any musician born after I graduated from high school.
Refuse is a strong word.
When I was a kid I remember telling myself I would always be aware of new music, even if I didn't like it. But, then again, I also told myself I would always enjoy crawling under card tables draped with sheets. And that pretty much sounds like an afternoon in hell to me now.
A quick check of Urbandictionary.com has cleared up question 2. That is not how I snap. Mine generally involves angry eyes and biting words.
OK, refuse is too strong a word. How about "I'm disinclined to listen to any musician born after I graduated from high school to the point that I reject most modern music as polished but derivative, but I'll try anything that's good enough to make it as KFAN's bumper music." That better?
