He’s NOT DEAD, is he?

I loved it then, I love it now, and I thank you for reminding me of it today. I’m going to go listen to it.
(PS…never connected the present tense in the beginning to the end…clearly this song was never workshopped in a Vodo or Dale class.)

How long before you expect you’ll have to explain the “Fonzie” reference to a youngster?

The Girl Groups have the best versions of Xmas songs.

I’m pretty sure the opening of “Baby Got Back” was, in its own way, an homage.

@Melissa, My friend Robin pointed me to this Wikipedia Teenage Tragedy Songs. It’s awesome!

I remember loving this song, along with so many others. Though in retrospect quite a few of them were pretty dark.
