I work in a retail pharmacy, so I'm subject to the overhead sound track my entire working day. I'm both happy and sad to say that I made it to December 17 this year before I heard this song, but at least it was the Spanish version!

Thanks for all your help along the way, you will be missed. I've learned to look for clues that delight me, thanks to your tutelage, and today that clue was 19 down. Four letters that brought a smile to my face when I realized that my original thought was off by one letter. It sounded right though!

I made it all the way through, didn't have any idea, clicked on the revealer and looked at the highlighted clues and realized that the number + x that I'd ignored was the key. Then I laughed and laughed and laughed...

Thanks for letting me know about the rebus, I had a personal best time today for Thursday!

If you like clues that end with question marks, you should try cryptic crosswords (English style CWs). I love them, but they're hard to find.

I hope this today's Thursday puzzle gives me credit for completion, unlike last weeks. I got the screen that said I completed it, that was that.

Can I ask a favor of the Wordplay writers? Could you please straight-up say THIS IS A REBUS? Thanks.
