To paraphrase the 1970s TV show "Project UFO" what is this high strangeness?
Is February 29 a freak? Like that guy at high school who decided to dye his hair in 15 colours to be cool.
Or is it just "meh?"

Some notable things about February 29:

St Petersburg, Florida was incorporated on February 29, 1892.
In 1712 Sweden had February 29 AND February 30. Well we can't be too judgemental. Sweden did produce Abba and Pewdiepie.
Jimmy Dorsey, saxophonist, born February 29, 1904.

Where is a pop song about February 29? There has to be one somewhere. So many corny rhymes are possible.

On Feb 29
Feb 29
I met my girl and she felt so fine
We decided to date and grab some wine
but something didn't feel quite right
It didn't seem like the right night

That reminds me a bit of some song. I know. Love Potion number 9 by The Searchers.
Fan of all 80s pop music except Meatloaf.
