So who's not going to be able to stop singing about West Covina, California for the next two weeks?

*Raises hands.*

The CW's zany (in all the best ways) and instantly addictive musical comedy just premiered, and you're now well-acquainted with Rebecca Bunch, the titular crazy ex-girlfriend at the center of the series.

Rachel Bloom co-created and stars in the series about a slightly unhinged and a very unhappy lawyer who gives up her high-paying and high-powered lawyer life in New York City to move across the country to West Covina, CA, the home of Josh Chan, her ex-boyfriend from 10 years ago at summer camp. But she totally didn't move to West Covina for Josh Chan, because that would be crazy, right?

Becca has a flair for the theatrics and a song for every occasion, including the parade of horrors that many people have come to know as "getting ready for a date."

Both "West Covina" and "Sexy Getting Ready Song" have already been added to all of our iTunes playlists, and they've also been stuck in our heads for several months now, playing on repeat.

The pilot, which was written by Bloom and The Devil Wears Prada scribe Aline Brosh McKenna, also stars Donna Lynne Champlin, Santino Fontana (the voice of Hans in Frozen!), Vincent Rodriguez III, and Pete Gardner.

Listen to "The Sexy Getting Ready Song" one (or seven) more time(s), and then vote in the poll below to let us know what you thought of the show! 

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend airs Mondays, 8 p.m. on the CW.
