songs not to be sung on the staten island ferry

... especially if you're a brown man with a beard, include, on the top of the list,
White Flag by Dido...

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I caught myself singing this on a sunny day on the Staten Island Ferry, and realized that given the orange Level 2 (orange) security of the operation, this was kind of inappropriate. Unfortunate song triggers have happened before. I can only laugh at myself when they happen. So I laughed. And looked at the show-off seagulls sailing over our chugging monster ferry with effortless disdain, wings as still as sculpture.
