The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

Never found a four LEAF clover to bring good luck to me
No rabbit's foot no lucky star no magic wishing tree
But I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you, oh yeah!
Got no rainbow around my shoulder, no horseshoe on my door
But I got you to hold me tight and who could ask for more
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you,
I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
I'm afraid the love I found just might get lost
So won't you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then I'll know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you
I always walk around with all my fingers crossed
I'm afraid the love I found just might get lost
So won't you tell me that you love me, hurry up and name the day
And then I'll know that my good luck is really here to stay
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you
Oh I got lucky, yes I got lucky
When I found you

… I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
Time hurries on
And the LEAVES that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
… Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl
I held her close, but she faded in the night
Like a poem I meant to write
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
… I threw a pebble in a brook
And watched the ripples run away
And they never made a sound
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
… Hello, hello, hello, hello
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
That's all there is
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
All the LEAVES are brown (all the LEAVES are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
All the LEAVES are brown (all the LEAVES are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a LEAF or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe (why I believe)
Lucky Lips - Cliff Richard

When I was just a little baby
I didn't have many toys
But my mama used to say, "Son
You got more than other boys
Now you may not be good looking
And you may not be too rich
But you'll never, ever be alone
'Cause you've got lucky lips"
Lucky lips are always kissin'
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips so true
Don't need a four-LEAF clover
Rabbit's foot or a good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms
Now, I never get heartbroken
No, I never get the blues
And if I play that game of love
I know I just can't lose
When they spin that wheel of fortune
All I do is kiss my chips
And I know I'm bound to win, yeah
'Cause I've got lucky lips
Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips so true
Don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms
Oh, lucky lips are always kissing (oh, those lucky lips)
Lucky lips are never blue (oh, those lucky lips)
Lucky lips will always find (oh, those lucky lips)
A love that's true (oh, those lucky lips)
I don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms
I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover
that I over looked before
one is for sunshine
the second is rain
third are the roses
that grow in the lane
No need explaining
the one remaining
is somebody I adore
I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover
That I ovr looked before

Who wants the worry, the hurry of city life.
Money, nothing funny, wasting the best of our life.
Sweet wine, hay making, sunshine day breaking.
We can wait till tomorrow.
Car speed, road calling, bird freed, LEAF falling.
We can bide time.

Great video, it's good to see Ginger Baker on drums, Jack Bruce on bass and both living at the time as well as Eric Clapton.

Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm
I remember thinkin' for a country girl
She went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a sloe gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said "I like livin' like this".
So I made her?
The queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs off and I've gotta trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
A few nights later I run into her
With some stranger on a park bench
She said 'he rebuilds engines and his name is earl
He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque-wrench"
I whispered 'Honey let's just go on home
Have some onion rings and watch TV"
As I walked her to the truck
Earl was crying "Don't you leave me"
I told him, this here's?..
The queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Now she's run off and I've gotta trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck
Now bless her little soul, she's not to blame
That's just the way her mind is
If there's a way to stir trouble up
The girl was born to find
She's the queen
She's the queen
The queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs off and I've gotta trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

I know you like to wear my dressing-gown,
When I'm not there.
I guess you like it in my shoes.
Just cause you drive a Maserati
And the ladies stare
Don't mean you'll go as fast as I do.
I know it's summer in the city
And the sun is high
But you can play it cool again
Cause boy I seen you disco dancing
With your pants on fire
We need a little tropical rain
So baby, baby
Watch the needle when your heading south
You drive me crazy
Just remember you can burn me out
So get down
It's been a long, hot summer
And it's 95 degrees in the shade
It's only Sunday morning
And I need that Friday feeling again
You put me in a fever 50 stories high
And suddenly I'm freezing
And I don't know why
It's been a long, hot summer
And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade
If you want to get FRESH
Get outta my car
Cause the boys up here are going to fast
I'm taking my time now
If you want to fly high
Keep outta the sun
When your fingers start to run
It's no fun
So why don't you climb now
If you want to get fresh
Then take a cold shower
Put your back on ice
Before you turn sour
Nobody can fool me
Now I'm cleaning my head
And dusting my eyes
Every time I feel the temperature rise
I need you to cool me
I'm partied out of house and home
So baby if you fight me
How you gonna like me
Runnin' down that open road
So think before you bite me
How you gonna get back home
It's been a long, hot summer
And it's 95 degrees in the shade
It's only Sunday morning
And I need that Friday feeling again
You put me in a fever 50 stories high
And suddenly I'm freezing
And I don't know why
It's been a long, hot summer
And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade
Cause I
So why do you bite me
So why do you bite me
A little late to take it slow
But I couldn't wait to party
At the cannon ball
Not what I wanted
Now I've seen it all
So find me
I've ricochet
Around the world
Drinking pink champagne
It's easy!

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is FRESH and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
Everything is all right (up on the roof)

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing FRESH from the World
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dew fall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the One Light Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's re-creation of the new day
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the World

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon America was young and strong and brave
Lord knows that I didn't have much money
And my old car had seen some better days
You were young and fresh as brand new roses
I was so in love and strong and brave
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away
I don't think I'd know you if I'd see you I practice my forgettin' till it works
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon I didn't know the meaning of hurt
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
And sweet magnolias line those country roads
We burned a tank of love most every weekend
And on work days I helped 'em fix the roads
My friends were many and our dreams were certain
Whoever thought we'd go our separate ways
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away
I don't think I'd know you...
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it"
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmm, this might be alright
But wait, I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet, I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said, "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought "Nah, forget it, yo, holmes to Bel Air"
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later"
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Ai

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as FRESH as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry
Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by
Whoa, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh
Sweet love of mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o' mine
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, sweet love of mine

Always updated and in the know (know)
You know we break it down going toe to toe
The bass is booming from down below
Ed Norton is chillin with Mario (woo-wee!)

Say, you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only
You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

After my own indecision
They confused me so

In the end you've got to go
Look before you leap

And don't you hesitate at all, no no
Yow!

It will excite, it will delight
It will give a better start
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all
Owner of a lonely heart
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it

I, I've been in love before
I thought I would no more
Manage to hit the ceiling
Still, strange as it seems to me
You brought it back to me
That old feeling
I, I don't know what you do
You make me think that you
Possibly could release me
I think you'll be able to
Make all my dreams come true
And you ease me
You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you EXCITE me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you
I, I'm gonna make you mine
You're gonna feel so fine
You'll never want to leave me
I feel you belong to me
Someday you will agree
Please, believe me
You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more

I've been waiting for you

Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through?
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so EXCITING
Something in my heart told me
I must have you
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
And ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
Ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey
Skippin' and a-jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you
My brown-eyed girl
And you, my brown-eyed girl
And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding 'hind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All ALONG the waterfall with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
There must be some kind of way outta here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody offered his word
Hey, hey
No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey
Hey
All ALONG the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Well, uh, outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey
All ALONG the watchtower
All ALONG the watchtower

I thought that I knew all there was to know
I knew all about love
I lived the highs and made it through the lows
I knew all about love
But now I must admit I'm surprised
And feel I've only scratched the surface
'Cause baby when I look in your eyes
I understand my one true purpose
You were sent to me
By angels up above, I'm certain
I thought I'd show you what love can be
But what did I know
Until ALONG came you
To teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love
And as this feeling grows with every day
You awaken my heart
A heart so full I fear that it may break
If we're ever apart
And though one day you'll be own your own
You know I always will be near you
As near as on the day you were born
Call on me, you know I'll hear you
You were sent to me
For one reason, I can tell you
You're here to show me what love can be
'Cause what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love
Thula thula sana
You mama uyeza
Thula Thula sana
Thula thula sana
You mama uyeza
You were sent to me
By angels up above, I'm certain
You're here to show me what love can be
'Cause what did I know
Until along came you
To teach me about love, oh
Oh yes, along came you
To teach me about love
Teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Teach me about love
Baby, baby teach me about love
Oh yes, along came you
Every time I think that I'm
The only one who's lonely someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend
My time at rhyme and verse and curse those faults in me
And then ALONG comes Mary
Mary, Mary
Then ALONG comes Mary
Mary, Mary
And does she wanna give me kicks
And be my steady chick and give me pick of memories?
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the
Fails and tribulations no one ever sees?
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
Whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks
Make jokes as who is most to blame today
And then ALONG comes Mary
Mary, Mary
Then ALONG comes Mary
Mary, Mary
And does she wanna set them free
And let them see reality from where she got her name?
And will they struggle much when told that such
A tender touch of hers will make them not the same?
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
And when the morning of the warning's passed
The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
And then ALONG comes Mary
Mary, Mary
Then ALONG comes Mary
Mary, Mary
And does she wanna see the stains the dead remains
Of all the pains she left the night before?
Or will their wakin' eyes reflect the lies
And make them realize their urgent cry for sight no more?
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
On this, our wedding day
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
Wait; wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
For I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave
Oh, to be torn 'twixt love an' duty
S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearing high noon
He made a vow while in state prison
Vowed it would be my life for his an'
I'm not afraid of death but, oh, what shall I do
If you leave me?
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side
Wait ALONG (wait along)
Wait along
Wait along (wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)

We hear you're leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you've kinda scared yourself, you've turned & run
But if you have a change of heart
Ricky don't lose that NUMBER
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Ricky don't lose that NUMBER
It's the only one you'll want
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
(Home home, when you get home)
I've got a friend in town, he's heard your name
We could go out riding on the Slowhand Road
Or we could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart
Ricky don't lose that NUMBER
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Ricky don't lose that NUMBER.
It's the only one you'll want
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
(Home home, when you get home)
I can tell you all I know
The where to go, the what to do
And you can try to run but you can't hide
From what's inside of you
You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart
Ricky don't lose that NUMBER
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Ricky don't lose that NUMBER
It's the only one you'll want
You might use it if you feel better

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
I'm never coming back
They heard him cry
And I believe him
Well he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Billy, billy don't you lose my number

They didn't know him and they didn't understand
They never asked him why
Get out of my way

Ooh all I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find a party that tried to get in touch with me
She did not leave a NUMBER but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high upon a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge
Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye
With "hurry-home" drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
We were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
She tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old, information please
You got to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Tammy Wynette, APARTMENT NUMBER 9
Just follow the stairway,
To this lonely world of mine.
You'll find me waiting here,
In apartment NUMBER nine.
Not so very long ago,
You walked away from me.
And after all the plans we made,
You decided to be free.
Loneliness surrounds me,
Without your arms around me,
And the sun will never shine,
In apartment NUMBER nine.
I keep waiting in this lonely room,
Just incase you change your mind.
You'll find me waiting here.
In apartment NUMBER nine.
Loneliness surrounds me,
Without your arms around me,
And the sun will never shine,
In apartment NUMBER nine.
No, the sun will never shine,
In apartment NUMBER nine.

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear sir letters keep comin' in the mail
I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name
I show up late and I'm docked, it never fails
I feel like just another, spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass in a great big field
To workers I'm just another drone
To Ma Bell I'm just another phone
I'm just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers I'm just another child
To IRS I'm another file
I'm just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise outta this city, head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean, hey it's me
And I feel like a NUMBER, feel like a NUMBER
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land, I feel like a NUMBER
I'm not a NUMBER, I'm not a NUMBER
Damn it I'm a man, I said I'm a man
Gonna cruise out of this city, head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean, hey it's me
And I feel like a NUMBER, feel like a NUMBER
Feel like a stranger
Stranger in this land, feel like a NUMBER
I'm not a NUMBER, I'm not a NUMBER
Damn it I'm a man, I feel like a NUMBER
