Name that tune

Whatever will be will be: A recent survey determined that the most annoying word or phrase used in conversation is “whatever,” easily beating “you know,” “it is what it is” and “at the end of the day".

Of course, context is key. When Doris Day sings “Que Sera, Sera,” “whatever” is much less annoying than when the word is employed as the last refuge in the argument of an eye-rolling teenager.

Keep your eyes on the prize: The title track to Michael Jackson's documentary, “This Is It,” was released for free on the Internet and features Jackson backed by his brothers.

Caught up in the emotion of awarding President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, the Nobel Committee listened to the song and immediately presented a Grammy to the Posthumous King of Pop.

Clouds in my coffee: Singer and songwriter Carly Simon, best known for her 1973 hit, “You're So Vain,” is suing Starbucks, claiming it failed to adequately promote her 2008 album, which it was selling in its stores.

Howard Schultz, you can bet Simon's next song will be about you.
